 leaves below at first densely clothed with brown pubescence. Leaflets very thick, 

 l-l in. long, emarginate. Panicles 1-2 in. long, dense, the brancfies densely brown- 

 velvety. Pedicels i__L i n . Calyx % in., with a pair of conspicuous adpressed 

 bracteoles ; teeth short. Corolla twice the length of the calyx. Pod thin, brown, 

 glabrous, distinctly stalked, strap-shaped, l^~^2 ^ n - by i ^ n -

 oblong obtuse einarginate glabrous, flowers in short axillary fascicled panicles 

 with racemose branches, pedicels as long as the calyx, petal-claws short, pod 

 1-3-seeded not veined opposite the seeds. Benth. in Journ. Linn. Soc. iv., Suppl.

PROME HILLS, Wallah. PEGU, McClelland. 



General habit like that of D. lanceolaria. Branches and leaves below glabrous. 

 Leaflets 1^-2 in. long, moderately firm, green on both sides. Flowers in copious 

 rather lax panicles, with slender ascending subglabrous branches. Calyx ~ in., sub- 

 glabrous ; teeth short. Corolla twice the calyx. Pod just like that of D. lanceolaria, 

 from which it can only be distinguished by the flowers.

 emarginate, much paler below than above, but scarcely glaucous. Branches of the 

 panicle densely pubescent. Calyx in. ; upper teeth short, obtuse, lowest lanceolate.
