Leaves one to two feet long; leaflets opposite, 3 to 5 
inches long, 14 to 2} broad, shortly acuminate, the 
‘primary veins diverging from the midrib, regular, parallel 
and prominent, as in most, if not all species of the genus. 
' Stipella reduced to minute tubercles, or entirely wanting. 
_ Flowers larger than in the other species ; the petals thick, and 
_ all but the keel smooth. Pod linear or linear-lanceolate, nar- 
_ Towed at the base, flat, woody, both margins, especially the 
_ sutural one, thickened, usually three or four-seeded. 
___ Notwithstanding the coherence of the tenth stamen, 
we have no hesitation in referring this plant to Mil- 
_ letia, an Asiatic and African genus, numerous in species, 
including the two which Hochstetter has endeavoured to 
_ distinguish under the name of Berrebera, The pod, of all 
the species where it is known, is intermediate between that of 
the shrubby Zephrosia, of the section Mundulia, and that of 
Sphinctolobium ; the valves adhere closely round the seeds till 
perfect maturity, when the pod in drying up appears to open 
two valves. G. Bentham. —
