12 J. Perkins: 



11. Bauhiiiia Pinchotiana Perk. n. sp. A shrubby climber, branches 

 siibterete, soon glabrescent, tendrils circinate, compressed, thinly 

 pubescent at the apex. Leaves roundish, shallovvly cordate, bifid 

 Y2 down, sinus narrow, coriaceous, 2,5 — 4 cm long, always a 

 little longer than broad, above glabrous, beneath thinly pilose; 

 lobes acute; nerves 10 — 11; petiole 1,7 — 1 cm glabrous. 

 Flowers in dense pyramidal racemes, 7 — 13 cm long; pedicels 

 rusty -pubescent, erecto- patent, the lower 2 cm long, bracts 

 ultimately deciduous, 1 — 2 mm long; buds 1,5 — 2 cm long, 

 clavate, the slightly obliquely curved base much longer than 

 the ovoid upper portion. Calyx rusty -pubescent splitting into 5 

 subequal lanceolate lobes, 1cm long and 2 mm wide, tube nar- 

 rowly infundibuliform, 1 cm long, 2 mm wide at the apex. 

 Petals 5, broadly oblanceolate, rather long- clawed, 7 mm long 

 and 3 mm wide, sparsely rusty -pubescent externally. Stamens 

 5, 3 fertile, 2 staminodial. Ovary small, not stalked, rusty - 

 tomentose, style almost wanting, stigma peltate.

Bauhi7iia Fincliotiana Perk, and Bauhinia Merrilliana Perk, 

 are related, but differ in the shape of the leaf-lobes, in the 

 number of the nerves, and the texture of the leaves, and in 

 the shape of the buds. Cuming's plant has been determined as 

 Bauhinia semibificla Roxb., from which it differs by its acute 

 leaf- lobes. 



12. Baiiliiiiia IVarlmrgii Perk. n. sp. Shrubby, stout, glabrous. 

 Leaves roundish, base shallowly cordate, bifid V3 down, sinus 

 narrow, subcoriaceous, 5,5 — 8,5 cm long, rather longer than 

 broad, shining and glabrous above, with short scattered brown 

 hairs beneath; nerves 12 — 13; lobes round; petiole 2 — 2,5 cm 

 long, glabrous; stipules broadly obovate, glabrous, 6 mm long, 

 very deciduous. Flowers in lax terminal racemes, about 5 cm 

 long, lower flowers deciduous; pedicel 3,5 — 4 cm long, aureo- 

 fusco-pubescent. Calyx aureo-fusco- pubescent, limb splitting 

 into 5 subequal, lanceolate lobes, 2 — 2,4cm long, 5 mm wide, 

 tube cylindrical, sulcate, slightly tapering toward the base, 

 3 — 3,5 cm long. Petals 5, obovate, shortly clawed, externally 

 rusty-silky, glabrous within, 3 — 3,5 cm long, 1 — 1,5 cm wide. 

 Ovary small, shortly stalked, 6 — 7-ovuled, densely silky; style 

 thick, silky, 1 cm long.
