 D. Sissoo.

The Western India locality cited for this species by Bentham and Baker is 

 erroneous ; all the specimens from the Concan so named by them are D. voluhilis.

Burma: Shan Hills, Collett 591 ! 723 ! 

 The writer has erroneously described this as a tree ; it is a large climber.

This is very near D. Milletti from Hongkong and was in 1897 referred to that 

 species by the writer. An opportunity, most obliging furnished by MM. Bureau 

 and Franchet, of examining the type of M. Franchet's D. mimosoides shows that the 

 Khasia plant is exactly the same as the Yunnan and Szechuen one and that the 

 latter is probably best treated as specifically distinct from D. Milletti. 



It may be mentioned in passing that Dalbergia Delavayi Franch., also kindly 

 lent for study, does not belong to this genus but is a Cladrasiis, C. Delavayi, hardly 

 different from C. sinensis Hemsl. 



51. Dalbergia stenophylla Prain. A climber with lenticelled 

 glabrous branches. Leaves 6-8 cm. long ; leaflets 30-35, small, linear- 

 oblong, obtuse, glabrous above, finely sparingly adpressed-puberulous 

 beneath, rather close-set, 1 era. long, 3 mm. wide, rachis 5'5-7 cm. long 

 and very short petiolules glabrous. Flowers small, secund, in axillary 

 panicled cymes 3-5 cm. long, 15-4 cm. wide, peduncle, branches and 

 sliort pedicels finely puberulous, bracts and 2 bracteoles at base of calyx
