 silkish pubescence. Leaves and leaflets the smallest of all the species, the former 

 not more than 2-5 in. long, green and pubescent above ; petiolules very short and 

 stipellae minute. Racemes copious, shorter than the leaves, the flowers fascicled, shortly 

 peduncled from the main rachis. Calyx ^ in., scarcely toothed. Corolla reddish, -|-

Tropical forests of the CONCAN and ORISSA. 



A woody climber, with thinly silky branches. Leaves reaching 1 ft. long ; leaflets 

 2-3 in. long, scarcely more than membranous, glabrous above, obscurely silky or gla- 

 brescent below ; petiolules short, with large setaceous stipellse. Racemes copiously pa- 

 nicled, the flowers not fascicled on short branchlets, but close shortly pedicellate on 

 the main rachis ; bracts exceeding the buds, setaceous, deciduous. Calyx p- in., densely 

 silky. Corolla -f-^- in., whitish. Pod linear, narrow, ^ ft. long, 4-5-seeded. 



Roxburgh's plant, which inhabits the forests of Orissa, may be distinct. As 

 flgurexl in his set of unpublished plates it has red flowers and much smaller bracts.

 woody glabrous. Pongamia pendiila, Grah. in Wall. Cat. 5902. Millettia 

 leucantha, Kurz in Journ. Asiat. Soc. Beng. xlii. 2, 68. 



AVA, Prome hills, Wallich ; BIRMA, forests of Pegu, McLelland, Kurz. 



An erect tree, with thinly silky branchlets, and leaves ^ ft. long. Leaflets thin, 

 flexible, 2-3 in. long, dull green, thinly silky above, when mature densely clothed with 

 adpressed grey silky pubescence below, the lowest as long as broad ; petiolules under 

 5- in. Flowers in short dense racemes in the axils of the leaves ; pedicels densely 

 fascicled, ^ in. Calyx -| in., shortly grey-silky; teeth deltoid, shorter than the 

 tube. Corolla shorter than the calyx. Pod oblong, 3-o in. long, 14- in. broad, tubercled, 

 1-3-seeded. 



7. BS. cana, Benth. PL Jung. 250; leaflets 7 obovate-oblong rather 

 obtuse coriaceous exstipellate thinly matted with adpressed grey hairs beneath, 

 standard glabrous, pod flat rigidly coriaceous obscurely grey-canescent. Pon- 

 gamia cana, Grah. in Wall. Cat. 5903. 



AVA ; banks- of the Irrawaddi at Yenanghuen, Wallich. 



Climber, with grey pubescent branches and leaf-rachis, the latter ^ ft. long. Side 

 leaflets oblong, 2^-3 in. long, the end one obovate ; upper surface glabrous, rather 

 shining ; petiolules in. Buds densely crowded ; pedicels very short ; bracts lanceo- 

 late, silky, as long as the calyx. Calyx minute, densely brown-sericeous ; teeth del-
