Derris pinnata Lour., Flor. Cochin-China, 432 (1790), is often referred to this species. From 
Loureiro’s description his plant is clearly a Dalbergia, but that it is not D. tamarindif.lia is almost 
certain, because Loureiro’s plant has glabrous leaflets, which, even when they are mature, D tamarindi- 
Jolia never has. Another, though perhaps less valid, objection to the identification is that D. tamarindi- 
Jolia does not appear to have been collected in Cochin-China. ; 
For some reason that is not quite clear Endespermum scandens Bl. has been eonsidered а doubtful 
species, and in the Index Kewens's has been tentatively referred to D. Championii, i.e., to D. rostra'a, 
The description given by Blume is so very precise that no dubiety is possible; the numerous leaflets, 
pubescent on both side:, and the roundish epicalycine bracts are characters that alone suffice to make the 
suggestion alluded to impossible ; the shape of the leaflets (oblique at the base, rounded on the upper, 
euneiform on the lower side) indicates that DBlume's plant can only be Р, tramarindifolia among the 
Malayan Dalbergias,
