An original example of D, reniformis, so named by Roxburgh himself, is 

 preserved in the Brit, Mas. collection. The stamens in this species are iso- 

 diadelphous. 



8. Selenolohiese Pseudosissose. 



73. Dalbergta falcata Prain, A climbing sLrnb ; young branches 

 angular, rusty-puberulous, their bases beset with ovate-acute, sub- 

 coriaceous bracts 2'5 mm. long. Leaves 10-16 cm. long, leaflets 5-9, 

 the lateral ones approximate but hardly ever opposite, dark-green 

 above, pale beneath, glabrous above, finely sparsely adpressed-pubescent 

 beneath, chartaceous, ovate shortly abruptly acuminate, the terminal 

 7-8 cm. long, 3 cm. wide, progressively smaller downwards, midrib 

 rather prominent beneath, secondary veins 6-8 pairs fine but distinct 

 beneath, as are the reticulations ; rachis 4"5-10 cm. long, and petiolules 

 3-4 mm. long glabrous ; stipules lanceolate, slightly striate within, 

 pubescent externally, 8 mm. long. Flowers in axillary panicles 6-8 cm. 

 long, with spreading rusty-puberulous branches, bracts and bracteoles 

 deciduous, pedicels 2*5 mm. long. Calyx 3 mm. long, teeth lanceolate 

 except the upper, the lowermost as long as the tube. Corolla not seen. 

 Stamens monadelphous. Ovary rusty-pubescent. Pod finely puberulous, 

 at length glabrescent, rigid, falcate, not very greatly thickened, 1-2- 

 seeded, 3 cm. (when 2-seeded 55 cm.) long, 1*75 cm. wide, 6 mm. thick, 

 with a distinct, slender, puberulous stipe 8 mm. long, dark-brown when 

 ripe, with narrow grey lines alongside the ventral suture. 



Borneo : Bintulu, Beccari 4027 ! Sarawak, Beccari 67 ! 

 A very distinct member of the group to which D. reniformis and D. Kunstleri 

 belong. 



74. Dalbergia Kunstleri Prain^ Journ. As. 8oc, Beng, Ixvi. 2. 121 

 (1897) and 453 (1897). 



Malaya : Perak, Kunstler 4736 ! 7067 ! 



This is obviously very closely related to- D. reniformis but it has, if not always, 

 at. least usually monadelphous stamens.
