N. 919. of Wight's Catalogue is perhaps referable to this species, but the 
specimens are in too poor a state for determination. May Derris pinnata, 
Lour., be likewise referable here ? 
808. (4) P. Heyneana (Grah.:) twining ? : leaflets ovate or oblong, or oval 
or obovate, obtusely acuminated, 3-pairs, glabrous : racemes axillary, pani- 
cled, elongated, with sometimes a leaf at the base of its first or second 
branches; pedicels on short minutely-bracteated partial peduncles: vexillum 
without callosities : ovary with 3-4-ovules.—Graham ! in Wall. ! L. n. 5916 ; 
Wight ! cat. n. 920. 
We retain this species distinct from the last on account of its very different 
appearance; the flowers are much more numerous, and the leaflets are in all 
our specimens considerably narrower (ovate or oblong), although in the on- 
ly and very imperfect one in Heyne's herbarium they are oval or obovate, 
and about as broad as in P. uliginosa : we have not seen the fruit. Whether 
or not the characters we have taken from the number of ovules be constant, 
future observations must determine, the specimens before us not being suffi- 
ciently numerous for that purpose.

LXI. MILLETTIA. W.& A. 
Calyx cup-shaped, lobed or slightly toothed. Corolla papilionaceous: 
vexillum recurved, broad, emarginate, glabrous or silky on the back. Sta- 
mens diadelphous (9 and 1), the tenth quite distinct. Legume flat, elliptic 
or lanceolate, pointed, coriaceous, thick margined, wingless, indehiscent, 
1-2-seeded: valves closely cohering with each other all round the seeds and 
between them.—T wining or arboreous. Leaves very large, unequally pinnat- 
ed: leaflets opposite, with a setaceous partial stipule at the base of each par- 
tial petiole. Racemes axillary, more or less branched and compound. Flowers 
pretty large, purplish, pedicelled, on shortish diverging partial peduncles. 
This genus, besides the following, will contain Galedupa elliptica of Roxburgh 
(fl. Ind. 3. p. 242, and in E. I. C. mm tab. 1590), with Pebble G. piscidia, Roxb., 
and some species described by him under Robinia. Pong. grandifiora and sericea 
of Ventenat appear also to belong to it. From Pongamia it is distinguished by the 
legume being compressed all round the seeds as in Dalbergia, and from the latter 
genus by its thick coriaceous or almost woody texture. Our character of the fruit is 
taken from M. rubiginosa, which alone we have seen in that state.—We have named 
it after Dr Millett of Canton, China. 
810. (1) M. rubiginosa (W. & A.:) young parts, petioles and racemes co- 
vered with rusty tomentum: leaflets 2-3-pair, oblong-lanceolate, acuminated, 
when young covered with a shining yellowish adpressed pubescence, after- 
wards more glabrous: racemes elongated, drooping, nearly as long as the 
leaves, solitary, with shortish lateral peduncles bearing 3-5-flowers : calyx 
minutely toothed: vexillum silky on the outside, with two large tomentose 
callosities on the inside at its base: ovary with 3 ovules : legume linear-lan- 
ceolate, pointed — Wight ! cat. n. 912, —— Courtallum. |

clothed with a short see or rbd lae Bo leaflets about 3-pair, ob- 
long-lanceolate, suddenly and shortly acuminated, slightly undulated on the 
margin ; upper side glabrous ; under clothed with a short adpressed silvery 
pubescence : inflorescence axillary, composed ofa few approximated elongated 
branches ; each branch a slightly compound raceme, bearing lateral short par- 
tial peduneles with several flowers on each: calyx shortly 4-cleft ; upper seg-
