An endemic species, common at low altitudes; according to Prain, in lit., very 

 closely allied to M. dccipiens Train of the Malay Peninsula. 

 5. Millettia cavitensis sp. nov. § Eumillettia. 



Arbor glabra circiter 8 m alta; foliis imparipinnatis, usque ad 20 cm 

 longis; foliolis 2- vel 3-jugatis, ovatis, oblongo-ovatis, vel elliptico- 

 ovatis, submembranaceis vel ehartaceis, basi rotundatis vel subacutis, 

 apice valde acuminatis, utrinque nitidis; racemis elongatis, foliis sub- 

 aequilongis, multifloris; floribus atropurpureis, 2 cm longis. 



A glabrous tree about 8 m high. Branches terete, rather slender, 

 gray or brownish, sometimes lenticellate. Leaves odd-pinnate, 16 to 20 

 cm long. Leaflets 2- or 3- jugate, ovate, oblong-ovate, or elliptic-ovate, 

 6 to 10 cm long, 2 to -i cm wide, submembranaceous or chartaceous, 

 shining on both surfaces, the base rounded or subacute, the apex rather 

 strongly and slenderly acuminate; nerves about 5 on each side of the 

 midrib, somewhat ascending, not prominent, very obscurely anastomosing, 

 the ultimate reticulations very fine, dense; petiolules 3 to 5 mm long. 

 Eacemcs solitary, in the upper axils, about 15 cm long, many-flowered. 

 Flowers dark-purple, their pedicels slender, 1 to 1.2 cm long. Calyx 

 cup-shaped, truncate, about G mm high, 7 to 8 mm in diameter. Standard 

 somewhat pubescent outside, about 22 mm long, IG mm wide, broadly 

 ovate, the apex l)road, rather strongly cleft, the base of the lamina with 

 two cartilaginous callosities 2 mm wide and 1 mm long, the claw stout, 

 4 mni long. Ovary rather distinctly pubescent, containing about 6 ovules. 

 Yexillary filament free at the base, then united with the others for about 

 two-thirds its length. Pods (immature) 10 cm long, 1.5 cm wide, flat, 

 somewhat wrinkled, gradually narrowed toward the base, the apex strongly 

 acuminate, the acumen curved. 



Luzon, Province of Cavite, Maragondong, Merrill J,1SU July, 190.5, in forested 

 ravines along a small stream, altitude about 250 m. 



^Manifestly allied to the preceding species, differing in its less numerous, 

 larger, more strongly acuminate leaflets, and by having flowers twice as large. 



6. Millettia foxworthyi sp. nov. § Eumillettia. 



Arbor glabra circiter 15 m alta; foliis imparipinnatis, circiter 8 cm 

 longis; foliolis 3-jugatis, oblongo-ellipticis, ehartaceis, 2 ad 4 cm longis, 

 acutis vel obscure acuminatis, subtus pallidioribus ; racemis axillaribus, 

 foliis subaequalibus vel brevioribus; floribus circiter 1.5 cm longis. 



A glabrous tree about 15 m high. Branches reddish-brown, lenti- 

 cellate. Leaves odd-pinnate, about 8 cm long; leaflets 2- or 3-pinnate, 

 oblong-elliptic, chartaceous, 2 to 4 cm long, 1.2 to 1.7 cm wide, the base 

 acute or rounded, the apex acute or somewdiat acuminate, the lower 

 surface much paler than the upper, both dull or only slightly shining 

 when diy; nerves about 5 on each side of the midrib, not distinct, the 

 reticulations subobsolcte; petiolules about 4 mm long. Eacemes in the 

 upper axils, sliorter than the leaves, rather many-flowered. Flowers
