ending in a dilated undulate sinuate stigma ; ovule 1, pendulous from 

 the apex of the cell. Fruit broadly 2-4->Yinged (2-winged in the 

 known Indian spetjies), the wings veined. Seed with plano-convex (not 

 convoluted) cotyledons. Distrib. Species about 7, extending from 

 Khasia to Singapore, Malaya and the Philippines ; and one aberrant 

 sjDecies in Angola having 5 leaflets.

1. Illigera APPRNDicur.ATA, Blume Bijdr. 2 353; Nov. fam. exp. 

 p. 14. A powerful climber 40-80 feet long ; young branches slender, 

 tawny-pubescent, soon becoming glabrous, striate when dry. Common 

 petiole about 3 in. long, with an annular swelling at the base, glabrous 

 or glabrescent. Leaflets thinly membranous, very variable in shape, 

 often oblique, oblong, elliptic to sub-rotund, the ape-x shortly acuminate 

 acute or sub-acute ; the base cune^te or rounded, sometimes unequal- 

 sided ; upper surface usually glabrous ; the lower very minutely lepidote, 

 glabrous or pubescent all over or only on the 2 or 3 pairs of oblique 

 indistinct main nerves ; length 3-5*5 in., breadth 1*75—4 in., petioles 

 •2-'6 in. Panicles pendulous, very lax, 9-15 in. lotig, glabrous below 

 but usually pubescent towards the extremities, the branches cymose. 

 Flowers •2-'35 in. in diam., on pubescent pedicels shorter than them- 

 selves. Calyx puberulous. Petals lanceolate, narrower than the lobes 

 of the calj'x, their midribs thick. Stamens curved inwards, longer 

 than the starainodes when unfolded. Fruit narrowly oblong, taper- 

 ing at the ends, 4-angled, minutely tomenfcose, 1-1 "25 in. long, two 

 of its margins produced into broadlj^ oblong obtuse horizontally striate 

 puberulous leathery wings 1'25 in. or more in width. DC. Prodr. XV,

Common in Pekak and the Andaman Islands, and probably to be 

 found in all the other Provinces. Distrib. British India, in Burma 

 and Assam. 



Variable in the shape and pubescence of the leaflets, the under surfaces of some 

 being rather densely pubescent, while others are almost quite glabrous. For a form 

 of the latter sort, the under surfaces of which are moreover somewhat glaucous, 

 Kurz suggested the varietal name puhescens. Individual plants vary also as to the 

 size of their flowers. The following, which I treat as a variety, was made a species 

 by Clarke in Hooker's Flora of British India. 



Var. Kurzii^ leaves glabrous, not lepidote, very coriaceous, the 

 margin recurved and thickened. I. Kurzii, Clarke 1. c.
