Roxburgh founded this species on specimens collected in the 

 Nortliern Circars, but -none of his original material is now extant. 

 Specimens collected within recent yenrs by Mr. J. S. Gamble in Can jam 

 (which is practiciilly Roxburgh's Northern Circars) dry of a very pale 

 colour, and have narrowly oblong leaflets with a few short haii-s on the 

 nervts beneiith. In shape and colour they are distinguished from 

 Wallich's own specimens of his L. parallela from Burma by a single 

 chiiracler, which-is that the adult leaves of L. parallela are quite glabrous
