CEYLON, Thwaites. 



A climber, quite glabrous in all its parts, even the pedicels and calyx. Leaflets 

 rigidly subcoriaceous, oblong or obovate-oblong, l-2 in. long, green above, rather 

 glaucous beneath. Racemes axillary, short-peduncled, 2-4 in. long ; pedicels twice the 

 length of the calyx. Calyx campanulate, ^ i n - ; teeth deltoid, minute. Corolla \ in., 

 the claws of the petals us long as the calyx. Ovules 2. Pod ligulate, glabrous, 

 lf-2f in. by in. 



3. D. robusta, Benth. in Joui-n. Linn. Soc. iv. Suppl. 104; erect, leaflets 

 7-19 usually acute oblique at the base, flowers in elongated racemes, pedicels 

 unequal several to a fascicle exceeding the calyx. Dalbergia robusta, Roxb.

EASTERN HIMALAYAS, WESTERN PENINSULA and CEYLON. 



An erect tree, 30-40 ft. high, with branchlets and leaves below obscurely grey- 

 silky. Leaves i-| ft. long; leaflets 1-2 in. long, not so coriaceous as in D. scandens, 

 green and glabrous above, grey and obscurely silky beneath. Racemes like those of D. 

 scandens, but seldom exceeding the leaves, the flowers densely fascicled and nodes 

 liable to be produced in the same way ; pedicels - ^ in., finely grey-downy. Calyx 

 ~ in. long ; teeth minute, deltoid. Corolla whitish, 3-4 times the calyx ; standard 

 erect, with a round blade. Pod 1-5-seeded, narrowed to both ends, glabrous, 1-2^ in. 

 long, f in. broad, the wing more distinct than in D. scandens, sometimes ^~ in. 

 broad. 



4. D. dalberg-ioides, Baker ; erect, leaflets 25-33 obtuse rather oblique 

 at the base, racemes close shorter than the leaves, pedicels unequal densely 

 fascicled. 



MABTABAN, Parish. TENASSERIM, Heifer. MALACCA, Maingay. DISTRIB. Java. 



A small spreading tree, 1 5-20 ft. high, with branchlets, pedicels and calyx brown- 

 silky. Learns 6-8 in. long; leaflets close, short-stalked, not more than an inch long, 

 rounded at both ends, emarginate, rigidly subcoriaceous, glabrous, dark green above, 

 pale green beneath, the veins immersed. Flowers in copious short-peduncled racemes, 

 like those of D. scandens and robusta, but the nodes more crowded ; pedicels and calyx 

 each about ^ in. long ; teeth minute, deltoid. Corolla rose-coloured, 4 times the 

 length of the calyx ; blade of the standard oblong. Pod just like that of D. 

 robusta. 



SECT. II. Euderris. Robust climbers, with the habit of Millettia and Lon- 

 chocarpus. Leaflets large. Floivers showy, in copious axillary racemes or 

 panicles, with the nodes often produced into short branchlets. Stamens mona- 

 delphous. Pods flattened, broader than in the last group and distinctly winged 

 down one or both sutures. 



* Pod distinctly winged doivn the upper suture only. 



t Leaflets few ; standard not callose at the base. (Euderris, Benth.)
