light-purple, their pedicels about 8 mm long. Calyx cup-shaped, truncate, 

 about 4 mm high. Standard elliptic-obovate, about 1.5 cm long, 1.3 

 cm wide, slightly pubescent outside, the apex rounded, somewhat cleft, 

 the basal callosities prominent, subcartilaginous, 2.5 to 3 mm wide, 1 

 mm high, the claw stout, about 2 mm long. Vexillary filament free at 

 the base, then united with the rest for most of its length. Ovary glabrous, 

 or with a very few scattered hairs.

 banks, altitude about 250 m. 



As to the genus, Prain ^* calls attention to the fact that F. von Mueller has 

 shown that Millettia is not distinct from Wistaria, and that Otto Kuntze ^^ has 

 proposed the adoption of Pliaseoloides Mill., in the modified form PJvaseolodes, 

 to include the various species of both Millettia and Wistaria. This is, however, 

 inadmissible under generally accepted rules, as Miller's name is pre-Linnean, 

 dating from 1737, and seems not to have been used in the interval. Kraunhia 

 Raf. (1809), is noted by Prain as the earliest imobjectional name, but this was 

 excluded by the Vienna Botanical Congress in favor of Wistaria. Small " has 

 taken up the name Bradlea Adans. (1763), for the American species of Wistaria, 

 but it seems doubtful if this suggestion will meet with general approval. 

 Under the Vienna rules, Wistaria Nutt. (1810), which is older than Millettia 

 W. & A. (1834), would be the proper name for the species now placed in 

 Millettia, if the two genera are to be combined. Pending a revision of the 

 entire group, Millettia is retained. 



EXCLUDED SPECIES. 



Millettia pulciiea Benth. ; F.-Vill. Nov. App. (1880) 59. 

 Millettia sericea W. & A.; F.-Vill. 1. c. 

 Millettia splendens W. & A. ; F.-Vill. 1. c. 



None of the above species are definitely known from the Philippines, and all 

 were doubtless admitted on erroneous identifications on the part of F.-Villar.
