DOUBTFUL SPECIES. 



The following are probable species of Millettia, of which either flowers or pods are 

 unknown. 



Leaflets and pod as in M. atropurpurea, but the latter 6-7 in. long, 2-2J in. 

 broad, smooth, woody, flat, perhaps indehiscent. MALACCA, Griffith, 1835. 



Leaflets 7, subcoriaceous, obovate, very obtuse, opaque, 3-4 in. long, obscurely 

 grey-canescent below. Pod linear, 4-5 in. long, flat, f in. broad, several-seeded, with 

 similar vestiture. PEGU, McClelland. May be PADBRUGGIA DASYPHYLLA, Miq. 

 Flor. Ind. Sat. i. 150. 



M. MAINGAYI, Baker. Leaflets 15 or more, oblong, coriaceous, l-2 in. long, 

 rounded at both ends, pubescent below. Pod oblong, woody, indehiscent, rounded at 

 both ends, 4 in. long, 2 in. broad, an inch thick, tiirgid, densely clothed -with short 

 brown velvety pubescence, the surfaces traversed by deep longitudinal grooves. 

 SINGAPORE, Maingay. 



PONGAMIA ANGUSTIFOLIA, Ham. in Wall. Cat. 5917. Leaflets 9, exstipellate, 

 not coriaceous, glabrous, oblanceolate-oblong, acuminate, 2-3 in. long. Inflorescence 

 and separate flowers just as in M. glaucescens. NIPAL, Hamilton.
