A small crooked bushy tree with drooping branches. Leaves broader than long, 

 rigidly coriaceous, 1 -2 in. long, slightly cordate, clothed more or less densely be- 

 neath with grey pubescence. Racemes short-peduncled, lax, terminal and leaf-opposed, 

 - ft. long, with densely grey-downy rachises ; pedicels ^-\ in., erecto-patent. Calyx- 

 tube turbinate, not more than ^ in. long ; limb 5-5 in., not splitting up. Petals ob- 

 lanceolate, yellow, as long as the limb. Pod ^-1 ft. by -1 in., not venulose, falcate, 

 firm, glabrous, turgid ; stalk above an inch long. Seeds 12-20. 



B. RTTFESCENS, Lam. ; DC. Prodr. ii. 514, which is sometimes cultivated, differs 

 from this by its very small leaves, seldom over half an inch deep, short style, and 

 much smaller pod. It is a native of Tropical Africa.

Western and Central Himalayas (ascending to 1000 ft. in KUMAON and 4000 feet 

 in BEHAR) through India proper and to BIRMA. DISTRIB. B. acida, Eeinw. (B. pur- 

 purea DC. of Malay isles and Timor scarcely more than a variety.) 



An erect low bushy tree. Leaves broader than long, rigidly coriaceous, the same 

 shape as in the last, but longer, with two obtuse lobes reaching about a quarter down, 

 glaucous, subglabrous or finely grey-downy beneath. Eacemes sessile, dense, axillary, as 

 broad as long ; pedicels ascending, very slender, i-1 in. long. Calyx clothed with 

 pale brown down ; tube cylindrical, turbinate, -|- in. ; limb | in. Petals oblong- 

 spathulate, little exserted. Pod 1 ft. by f-1 in., nearly straight, firm, glabrous, rather 

 turgid, reticulato-venulose, rostrate with the style, 20-30-seeded ; stalk 1 in. long. 



VAR. reniformis, Eoyle MSS., sp. ; leaves as small as those of B. racemosa, densely 

 pubescent beneath. North-west provinces. 



7. B. ung-uiculata, Baker; erect, leaves 7-nerved cordate deeply 

 .bifid, flowers in short simple corymbs, bracts large, pedicels 3-4 times the calyx, 

 calyx-limb 5-cleft, style produced. 



SIAM, Sir E. Schomburgk. 



Closely allied to the last. Leaves broader than long, rigidly subcoriaceous, 2-3 in. 

 long, glabrous beneath, with two obtuse lobes reaching %-$ down. Eacemes short-pe- 

 >duncled, as long as the leaves; bracts under \ in., oblanceolate, reflexed; pedicels 

 *lender, lower l|-2 in. Calyx thinly grey-downy externally; tube cylindrical, tur- 

 binate, -| in. ; limb \-^ in. Petals % in., pilose, with a round limb equalling a dis- 

 tinct claw. Ovary downy, with a distinct stalk and style. Pod unknown. 



8. B. Lawii, Benth. MSS.; scandent, leaves deeply cordate shortly 

 bifid 15-1 7-nerved, racemes dense forming ample terminal panicles with re- 

 flexed branches, calyx-limb shortly 5-cleft, stigma sessile. ? B. foveolata, Dalz. in 

 Journ. Linn. Soc. 13, p. 188. 



CONCAN, Law. 



Branchlets slender, terete, ecirrhose, thinly grey -downy. Leaves orbicular, rigidly 

 coriaceous, 4-9 in. long and broad, finely downy, the numerous ribs thick and much, 

 raised on the under surface. Eacemes forming an ample deltoid panicle | ft. long and 

 broad, with numerous deflexed densely pale-brown downy branches, the lower com- 

 pound ; bracts deltoid, minute ; pedicels erecto-patent, very short. Calyx-tube - in., 

 narrow, turbinate ; limb |-^ in., shortly 5-cleft. Petals twice the calyx. Stigma 

 large, peltate, in. broad. Pod unknown. Agrees with the description of Dalzell's 

 plant except that it is not dioecious. 



SECT. 3. Lysiphyllum, Benth. Fertile stamens 10. Calyx with a long 

 tube and 5-cleft limb. Pod broad, indehiscent. Leaflets distinct.
