long, densel}-^ rusty. Calyx campanulate densely rusty, Ih in. long, teeth 

 tiiangular except the broadly deltoid sliglitly bifid upper, rather more 

 tlian half as long as tube. Corolla, "25 in. long, standard broadly ovate.

Singapore ; Ridley, 6395 ! 



A very distinct species, in inflorescence most resembling K. Forhesii but with 

 leaves of the consistence and appearance of those of K. Kingii, though with 5 leaflets 

 in place of 3. The pod however is very different from that of K. Kingii, and 

 resembles that of K. Gurtisii, the chief difference being that the meshes of the reti- 

 culations on the valves are much opener in K. Ridleyi than in K. Curtisii. 



6. KuNSTLERiA Derryi Prain. A climber with densely pale-rusty 

 pubescent branches. Leaves 6-8 in. long, leaflets 7, ovate-lanceolate, 1—6 

 in. long 'TS-l'S in. wide, terminal with deltoid base considerably exceed- 

 ing tlie lateral with lounded bases, all with cuneate apex, lateral nerves 

 ascending 6-7 pairs, rather prominent as is the midrib beneath, margin 

 entire ; rigidly chartaceous pale-green subscabridly pubescent on the 

 nerves above, uniformly subscabrid beneath as are the petioles 2*5-3 in., 

 and the marginally attached petiolules "2 in. long. Floivers in rather 

 strict terminal and axillary panicles 12-15 in. long 2-3 in. wide, rachis 

 and branches softly pale-i-usty as are the very short pedicels and the 

 very small lanceolate bracts. Calyx campanulate, densely rnsty-pubes- 

 cent, '15 in. long, teeth triangular, upper rather broader, notched, half as 

 long as tube. Corolla dark-purple "25 in. long, standard oblong. Pod 

 not seen. 



Malacca; Machap Tebung Road, Ferry 1006 ! 



Leaves and branches with exactly the pubescence of E. Curtisii var. laxijlora but 

 with 7 leaflets instead of a solitary leaflet and with marginally, not subpeltately 

 attached petiolules. 



30. Dalbergia Linn. fil. 



Trees or climbing shrubs. Leaves with alternate subcoriaceous 

 leaflets. Floivers copious, small, in terminal or lateral panicles. Calyx 

 campanulate ; teeth 5, distinct, usually short. Corolla exserted ; stand-

 split also down the keel ; anthers minute, basifixed, with the cells back 

 to back, and the slit mostly short and apical. Ovary stalked, few- 

 ovuled; style short, incurved, glabrous, stigma capitate. Pod oblong
