Til an opportunity oceurred of seeing fruits of this species, it did not seem advisable to separate 
it from D. Junghulnii and the allied forms confused with that species.

A scandent shrub, with closely puberulous, sub-bifarious branchlets. Zeares 6—7 
in. long; leaflets usually 7—9, oblong or elliptic, cuneate at base, rounded, obtuse, 
faintly emarginate at apex, glabrovs and dark-green above, pale-green and rather 
closely puberulous except on the midrib beneath, 1°5—2 in. long, 1 in. wide; 
rachis 4*5 in, long and petiolules *15 in. long, puberulous. Flowers minute, secund, іп 
axillary and terminal panicles, 4—5 in. long, 3 in. wide; peduncles, branches and 
pedicels pubescent; bracts minute, caducous; bracteoles persistent, basal lanceolate, 
acuminate, minute, epicalycine pair ovate, obtuse, embracing lower third of calyx- 
tube; calyx campanulate, teeth all short, obtuse; corolla white, petals all short-clawed, 
especially the wide-oblong, emarginate standard; stamens 9, in one sheath split along 
upper side, filaments free in their upper fourth; ovary rather Jong-stipitate, closely 
pubescent except the stipe; style obsolete; ovules 2—3. Pod, only seen unripe, quite 
glabrous.

This is evidently very nearly related to D. stercoracea, but Maingay, who has collected both, 
notes that this has no stercoraceous odour and is probably distinct. The leaves of this, in the 
specimens of all three gatherings seen by me, are larger tban is usual in D. stercoracea their 
tomentum beneath is very different. It has besides a different calyx, different standard, and different 
ovary. The flowers too are quite half as large again as in D. sfercoracea.
