$4. MISCOLOBIUM.—Standard reflexed, but not distinctly refracted, the claw 
tapering gradually into the blade; stamens normally monadelphous; pod samaroid, 
rather narrow-oblong. | 
This section is not so well represented in Asia ав it is in America. It stands practically intermediate 
between Endespermum and Dalbergaria, having the stamens of the former and the corolla of the latter. 
« 15, Velutine.—LZpicalycine bracteoles obtuse or acute, shorter than the calyx ; leaflets 
medium to small, not excesuing 2 in. long; style subulate; climbers. 
A natural group apparently more nearly related to some American forms, especially perhaps to D. 
(Biscolobium) foliolosa of Brazil and Bolivia, than to any of the remaining Asiatic species. This group, 
agreeing as it does with the Endesperma as to style as well as in stamens, forms a closer link between 
Endespermum and Miscolobium generally than do the remaining groups. At the same time the fact that 
Haviland records the stamens of D. bornéensis as sometimes isodiadelphous helps to link the group, and 
therefore the section Discolubium as a whole, with Dalergaria.

A large climber, with densely rusty-pubescent branches. Leaves 6—8 in. long; 
leaflets 18—17, oblong, obtuse or subacute, membranous, dark-green, above puberulous 
to glabrescent, beneath pale rusty-velvety, distal not much if at all exceeding the others, 
1:5--2 in. long, '6—:8 in. wide; rachis 5—6 in. long, densely pale rusty-velvety as are 
the petiolules, “1 in. long; stipules long-persistent, large obovate- or ovate- to linear- 
lanceolate, pale rusty-velvety, “6 in. long, '1—' 25 in. wide. Flowers in rather dense 
axillary panicles with corymbose branches, 4 in. long, 2°5 in. wide, the peduncles, 
branches and short pedicels densely pale rusty-velvety, bracts at base of pedicels rather 
large, ovate, velvety ; ca/yz campanulate, with two ovate-acute bracteoles embracing lower 
third of tube, densely pubescent, externally somewhat gibbous at base, upper teeth obtuse, 
subconnate, the others acute, the lateral rather shorter than the lanceolate lowest, which 
із as long as the tube; corolla white or with pinkish spots, petals all rather long-clawed А
