Materials for a Flora of the Malayan Peninsula, 25 



Suh-trihe D. Bioclese. Inflorescence racemose with rachis swollen 

 at the nodes, bracts small or caducous ; calyx usually 4-lobed from 

 union of the two upper teeth, rarely very unequally 2-lipped ; petals 

 subequal in length ; upper seamen free at the base, connate with the 

 remainder above ; style not bearded. 



16. Dioclea. Calyx campanulate ; pod broad mzich thickened along 



upper suture. 



17. Pueraria. Calyx campanulate ; pod linear, flat or narrow. 



18. Canavalia. Calyx 2-lipped; with a large upper and small 



lower lip. 

 Suh'trihe E. Erythrineas. Inflorescence usually racemose with rachis 

 nodose, flowers showy with unequal petals — in some genera with very 

 large standard longer than the wings and sometimes than the keel also, 

 in others with standard much exceeded by the large cochleate keel ; 

 upper stamen free or united at the base with the remainder ; style 

 naked ; bracts usually small, deciduous. 



19. Mucuna. Keel longest, standard shorter than wings ; anthers 



2-morphous ; climbers. 



20. Strongylodon. Standard and keel equal and longer than wings ; 



anthers uniform ; climbers. 



21. Erythrina. Standard longer than heel and wings ; anthers uni- 



form ; armed trees. Pod sometimes dehiscent only at apex, 



sterile and indehiscent below. 

 Sub-tribe F. Galactiese. Inflorescence racemose with nodose rachis, 

 more rarely amply paniculate ; bracts small very deciduous ; calyx 

 usually 4-lobed, the two upper teeth connate ; petals sub-equal in 

 length ; upper stamen free ; style not bearded. 



22. Spatholobus. Pod 1-seeded at the apex only and there parti- 



ally dehiscent, sterile and indehiscent below. 

 Tribe TV. Galege^. Herbs never twining, erect shrubs, or less 

 often trees or large woody climbers. Leaves odd-, very rarely even-pin- 

 nate without the rachis prolonged, leaflets oo , or rarely 3-1, usually 

 entire. Stamens 10, the lower 9 united as far as their middle or further 

 in a sheath split along the upper side or less often closed in the middle 

 the upper sometimes free from the base, at others connate by its middle 

 with the sheath, very rarely wanting ; filaments filiform at the tips, 

 anthers versatile uniform, or rarely somewhat dimorphous. Pod rot 

 segmented, 2-valved or if indehiscent usually small, 1-2-seeded or mem- 

 branous inflated. Seeds rarely strophiolate.
