subglabrous, leaflets 9-15 small oblong or oblanceolate-oblong, racemes much 

 shorter than the leaves, standard glabrous, pod broad. D. ovalifolia, Benth PI,

CONCAN, Stocks. CEYLON, Gardner, &c. 



The most like a Dalberqia in foliage of the species of this section, but very different 

 in the flowers. Leaves distinctly petioled, not more than half a foot long; leaflets the 

 smallest of the group, l-2 in. long by^-f in., obtuse or subacute, quite glabrous, 

 rigidly subcoriaceous when mature, rather glaucous beneath, the veins immersed. Ra- 

 cemes copious, moderately close, subsessile, many of the nodes produced into short 

 spreading branchlets ; pedicels rather exceeding the calyx, finely grey-silky. Calyx 

 ^ in. long. Corolla g in. long; standard reflexed, nearly ^ in. broad. Pod one-seeded 

 in all our specimens, oblong, lin. by f-| in., thin but firm, glabrous, with a distinct 

 wing down the upper suture. 



10. D. cuneifolia, Benth. PL Jungh. i. 253 ; branches subglabrous, leaflets 

 5-11 middle-sized obovate-oblong subcoriaceous, racemes much shorter than the 

 leaves, standard glabrous, pod narrow. Benth. in Journ. Linn. Soc. iv. Suppl.

Eastern Himalayas, NIPAL, and SIKKIM ; ascending to 5000 ft. in SILHET and 

 EASTERN PENINSULA. 



Leaves distinctly-petioled, ^-f ft. long ; leaflets usually 5-7, moderately firm, 

 slightly silky at first beneath, 3-5 in. long, subobtuse or acute, the veins immersed. 

 Flowers very copious, the nodes of the racemes usually produced into branchlets ; ra- 

 cemes sometimes fascicled ; pedicels finely grey-downy, ^- in. Calyx ^ in., subgla- 

 brous, broadly campanulate. Corolla f- in., bright red ; blade of the standard 

 round. Pod 1-3-seeded, 2-3 in. by -f in., thin, flat, glabrous, with a narrow dis- 

 tinct wing down the upper suture and sometimes a trace of one on the lower. 



11. D. microptera, Benth. in Journ. Linn. Soc. iv. Suppl. 113 ; branches 

 subglabrous, leaflets 5-9 large membranous obovate-oblong cuspidate, racemes 

 long and lax, standard glabrous, pod broad. 



SIKKIM, alt. 2-5000 ft., Hook. fil. 



Closely allied to D. cuneifolia, and even more showy. Leaves a foot or more long, 

 distinctly petioled ; leaflets 3-6 in. long, twice as long as broad, membranous, green, 

 glabrous on both surfaces from an early stage, with a very distinct cusp. Eacemes 

 peduncled, flexuose, ^-1 ft. long, with distant nodes, the axils and pedicels nearly 

 glabrous, the nodes not produced into branchlets ; pedicels ^ in. Calyx g- in., 

 broadly campanulate. Corolla ^-f in., bright red ; standard erect, f-^ in broad. Pod 

 1-2-seeded, 1^-3 in. by 1 in., glabrous, thin, firm ; wing very narrow. 



12. Z>. elliptica, Benth. in Journ. Linn. Soc. iv. Suppl. Ill ; branches 

 densely clothed with brown pubescence, leaflets 9-13 large subcoriaceous obo- 

 vate-oblong, racemes lax elongated, standard silky on the back, pod narrow. Pon- 

 gamia elliptica, Wall. PI. As. Rar. iii. 20, t. 237 ; Cat. 5881 ; Wight. Ic. t. 420.

MAKTABAN, BIBMA, PENANG, MALACCA. DISTEIB. Siam, Malay isles. 



A large handsome climber, easily distinguished from all the other species by its 

 petals silky on the outside. Leaves long-petioled, a foot or more long; leaflets thin, but 

 firm when mature green and glabrous above, glaucous and thinly brown-silky beneath,
