from oval to ovate, obtuse or sometimes acute, mucronate, when adult glabrous 
except the nerves underneath sprinkled with hairs ; margin densely ciliated 
with much short silvery hair: stipules oblong, bracteas and bracteoles sessile, . 
oblong-lanceolate, all of them rigid and elegantly striped longitudinally with

_ Roxburgh mentions that the leaflets when young are silky on the under 
side, but none of our specimens show any tendency towards this, nor is it re- 
presented in his own drawing. 
b. Calyx scarcely bilabiate, campanulate, 5-toothed ; the two upper teeth partial- 
ly united, the lowest the longést : legume compressed.—Eudolichos. 
768. (6) D. falcatus (herb. Madr. !:) root perennial, tuberous: stems twin- _ 
ing: leaflets somewhat roundish ovate, acuminated ; the terminal one more 
or less 3-lobed : stipules oblong, pointed, sessile, reflexed: peduncles slen- 
der, about the length of the petioles, 2-8-flowered at the apex: petals equal 
in length ; vexillum broadly ovate, shortly 2-spurred at the base, with two 
long callosities extending half-way up the limb compressed and project- 
ing inwards at the apex; keel much faleate: ovary surrounded by a short 
sheath at the base: tumid part of the style sessile, glabrous ; stigma capitate, 
woolly: legume linear, faleate, glabrous, compressed, 4-8-seeded ; valves 
flat.—D. trilobatus, Wall. L. n. 8541.—«; stems glabrous or slightly hairy ; 
leaflets glabrous or slightly pubescent.— Wight! cat. n. 743.—D. falcatus, 
Klein! in Willd. sp. 3. p. 1047 ; DC. prod. 2. p. 398 ; Spr. syst. 3. p. 249 ; 
Roxb. fl. Ind. 3. p. 311.—D. tuberosus, Roxb. in E. I. C. mus. tab. 289 (excl. 
Syn. Lour. and Pluk.)—é ; stems and leaflets hairy.— Wight! cat. n. 742. 
he more hairy states of this plant are found in the drier and warmer si- 
tuations ; the more glabrous towards the north of the Peninsula. : 
` 169. (7) D. subcarnosus (W. & A.:) glabrous, twining: leaflets broadly. 
ovate, slightly acuminated, mucronulate, somewhat fleshy ; terminal one 
deltoid : stipules sessile, ovate, striated: racemes few-flowered, on peduncles 
many times longer than the leaves: legumes long-linear, narrow (2-4 inches 
long and scarcely 14 line broad), straight, pointed with the slightly recurved 
subulate persistent base of the style, glabrous, many-seeded, not torulose, 
slightly compressed ; valves a little convex.— Wight ! cat. n. 737. 
_ Of this species we have not seen the flowers, but we have little doubt about 
its being of the present genus: the pod is neither flat as in the species we 
àve already described, nor terete as in those which follow, but between the 
two. It was sent by Dr Wight's collectors under the native name of Cat- 
thatan-payarroo, but it cannot be any variety of D. Catjang of Linneeus. 
*. Calyx campanulate, 5-toothed ; the two upper teeth partially united, the low- 
est the longest : legume terete, subulate-pointed.—Catjang, DC. | 
710. (8) D. pilosus (Roxb.!:) perennial, twining, softly hairy or pubes- 
cent: leaflets ovate-lanceolate: stipules sessile, lanceolate: racemes short, 
axillary, short-peduncled, several-flowered ; bracteoles minute: alee about 
the length of the other petals, angled, with a spur or horn at the base on 
the one side and another on the other side near the apéx ; vexillum broadly 
_ obovate : upper part of the style glabrous: stigma bearded: legume long
