Flowers in lax axillary panicles 3:5—6 in. long, 2—3 in. wide, the peduneles surrounded 
at the base by a few ovate membranous bud scales; branches few, very faintly puberulous 
as are the pedicels *19 in. long; bracts and epicalycine braeteoles ovate, membranous, 
"1 in. long, very caducous; calyz campanulate, thinly coriaceous, glabrous, “15 in. 
long, the three lower teeth ovate-acute, the lowest rather longer than the lateral but 
hardly exceeding the two ovate-obtuse almost completely connate upper teeth; corolla 
white, standard ovate-oblong, slightly reflexed, with rounded slightly involute apex and 
wide-cuneate base tapering to the broad, short, stout claw; wings long-clawed with 
a large spongy thickened patch inside at upper edge of base of blade; kcel-petals 
connate above, markedly auricled below, long-clawed; stamens 9, in one sheath split above, 
or 10, the tenth free on опе side and nesrly free on the other; filaments free in 
their upper third, alternately shorter and longer; ovary long-stipitate, quite glabrous ;

Ixpo-CuiwA: Cochin-China; Bencat, on the Saigon river (fr.), Pierre! Baria, at the 
base of Mt. Dinh (fl.), Pizre! Phu-Quoc, Cam-Chay, also forests between the Dong-Nai 
and the Bia-Thuan, Lanessan. 
This is Herb. Pierre 1710 and is а very fine and distinct species, nearest of the Asiatic Dalher- 
gias to D. latifolia and D. sissoides; at one time plentiful it is now becoming rare owing to indis- 
criminate felling. The native names given in Herb. Pierre are Anam, Trác; Kmer, Cra haung; the 
second name, it will be observed is a!so applied to JD. cambodiana. 
Both Lanessan and Brenier give the vernacular name as Tyde; Brenier adds, however, that six 
trees are known by this vernacular term. These are Tide den (or Black "Trác), Ліс tang (or 
Yellow Tréc), Trác bong (or Spotted Trac), Trde trang (or White Trác) and Zrác mát (or Buff Тобе). 
There is nothing in М. Brenier’s remarks on these forms to indicate whether the names cited 
connote different species, or only different forms of one species, or in any way to assist in their 
botanical identification.
