discovery of the fruit of P. dasyphylla, as s he Sted his species, by 
Teysmann in Sumatra gave further support to his decision. Pad- 
bruggea dasyphylla is actually the same as Millettia oocarpa, and 
with M. Maingayi may conveniently be restored to its generic 
oe es Miquel’s designation and be placed beside Adinobotrys. 
By the definition of Adinobotrys and the revival of Padbruggea 
the ae collection of groups which has gradually accumu- 
lated around Wight and — s genus Millettia will lose some of 
its most aberrant member hese two genera, in spite of the 
above-mentioned Seon which distiveniah them from Millettia, 
are nevertheless more nearly related to that genus than to Ptero- 
carpus, Derris, Pongamia and the other genera with indehiscent pods 
which Bentham placed together in the tribe Dalbergieae. Thus 
Adinobotrys erianthus (Millettia eriantha), agrees in its petal and 
disc characters wit . cinerea, which is otherwise a true Millettia, 
while it approaches Wistaria, an sg ieetsDnBEly galegioid genus in 
all its floral characters excepting that its ovules are few
