is clearly Dalbergia ovata, of which it may even prove ultimately to be only a form. The differentiating 
characters are the smaller size of the flowers, the much more densely tomentose young shoots, and tho 
greater number (7—9) of its leaflets. Тһе structure of the flower is exactly that of D. ovata, except 
that the lowest ealyx-lobe is here acute, іп D. ovata it is obtuse.

glabrous, Leaves 6—9 in. long; leaflets usually 7, occasionally 5—6, rarely 4, ovate- 
acuminate, subcoriaceous, bright-green above, paler and at times glaucescent beneath, 
glabrous, the distal rather larger than the rest, 2—4 іп. long, 1--19 in. wide, rachis

at first puberulous; calyz campanulate, partly enclosed by two deciduous, puberulous,

the margins of tho teeth, the teeth subacute subequal except the lowest which is obtuse, 
longer and wider than the rest, all shorter than the tube; corolla yellowish-white, petals

Though only doubtfully spoken of as a tree by Bentham, and though stated by Baker to be 
a climber, this is described by Beddome as a large tree, and by Parish as a middle-sized tree. 
Parish gives the name at Moulmein as Thit-hsonk-yo or ‘Chisel-handle wood, its timber ‘ being good 
for that purpose.’ Kurz gives the name Madama, in Pegu, both for this and for D. obtusifolia ; 
Shaik Muqim, who says it is a tree 30 feet high, gives the name as Kan-ma at Tavoy. 
The bracteoles are like those of J)/atifoiia and D. emarginata, but are not во delicate in texture; 
they are moreover not quite so large and are less eaducous. Kurz has proposed, without апу parti- 
cular necessity, a variety @ puberula, |
