ment the broadest, entire ; under narrower and rather longer than the others:

LXII. DALBERGIA. Linn.; Roxb. 
Calyx campanulate. Corolla papilionaceous, glabrous : keel-petals free or 
scarcely cohering. Stamens 8-10, variously combined, sometimes monadel- 
phous, sometimes equally or unequally diadelphous. Ovary with several 
ovules. Legume usually stalked, membranaceous, reticulately veined, flat, 
oblong-linear, few-seeded ; valves closely cohering with each other all round 
the seeds and between them. Seeds distant, compressed.—Trees or shrubs, 
usually twining. Leaves unequally pinnated, rarely pinnately trifoliolate. 
Racemes axillary. 
Subgen.l. Bracuyprerum. Leaves pinnated; leaflets opposite. Calyx 
obliquely truncated. Anthers ovate. Legumes with a narrow wing or mar- 
gin along the seminiferous suture.

late, obtuse at the apex: petioles channelled: racemes axillary, longer than 
the leaves ; pedicels fascicled, slender ; calyx with 2 minute caducous brae- 
teoles at its base, truncated, with a short tooth opposite to the keel, other- 
wise entire: vexillum callous at the base of the limb; als ciliated at the 
base: stamens all connected a little above the base, unequally diadelphous 
(9 and 1) at the base and above the middle : legume almost sessile, linear-
