A climber, with lenticelled branches; branchlets sparsely puberulous or glabrous, 
surrounded at point of origin by scaly bracts. Leaves 9:5—4 in. long; leaflets 81—41, 
small, narrowly linear-oblong, obtuse, at first sparsely pubescent on both surfaces, soon 
glabrous except on midrib beneath, close-set, “5 in. long, *15 in. wide; rachis 2—3°5 іп, 
long, finely adpressed-puberulous or glabrous, petiolules short, glabrous; stipules ovate, 
deciduous, Flowers small, secund, in axillary panicles along young branches, 2—2'5 in, 
long, 1:5 in. wide; peduncles, branches, and pedicels puberulous; bracteoles puberulous, 
basal persistent, the epicalycine pair embracing the lower third of calyx-tube, deciduous; 
calyx campanulate, finely puberulous; teeth short, the upper pair obtuse, subconnate, the 
lateral acute, the lowest longer, shortly lanceoiate; corolla white, petals short-clawed, 
standard wide-ovate, obtuse; stamens 9, in one sheath split along upper side; ovary 
stipitate, sparsely pilose along sutures; style short; ovules 8. Pod indehiscent, thinly but 
firmly coriaceous, very faintly reticulated opposite the one or two seeds, glabrous, 
ligulate, subacute, base narrowed to the distinct stipe, 1:25—2 in. long, "9 in. wide; 
seed reniform, compressed, “85 in. long, 72 in, wide.

This species is very nearly related о D. Millettit and to р, mimosoides, agreeing with latter in 
its elongated panicles, but more approaching the former іп its comparative absence of pubescence. 
The leaflets, however, though as long as those of D. mimosoides, are 88 narrow ав or narrower than 
those of D. Dlillettii, while the fruit is different from that of either of these species. 
. Kang-kin-ten is given by Farges as the Chinese name for the species.
