This species is very nearly related to D. thyrsiHora which it much 

 resembles in flowers and pods except in having them distinctly pedicel- 

 led ; in this latter respect it more nearly approaches D. Wallichii of 

 which we were at first inclined to treat it as a large flowered variety. 

 The much larger leaflets however and the fact that this is a tall tree 

 makes it preferable to treat it as a distinct species. 



9. Dalbergia Kingiana Train; frutex scandens lignosa, cortice 

 lenticellato, foliolis 5-7 anguste ovatis apice breviter acuminatis, basi 

 cuneatis supra glabris subtus sparse puberulis, coriaceis. Flores pani- 

 culati, paniculis axillaribus, foliis brevioribus, ramulis subcorymbosim 

 dispositis, pedicellis brevissimis ; calyce dense ferrugineo, dentibus 3 

 infeiioribns anguste triangulis, summos breviores latioresque excedenti- 

 bus ; petalorum unguibus calyce aequilongis ; staminibus 9 monadel- 

 phis ; ovario glabro 2-ovulato ; stylo subulato. Legumen ignotum. 

 In montibus Kachin nuncupatis, Kingii mercenar. ! 

 Foliola 25-3 poll, longa, 1-125 pojl. lata ; rachide 3 poll, longo 

 petiolulis *2 poll, longis ; paniculae 35 poll, longae, ramulis 1-1*5 poll, 

 longis, floribus *25 poll, longis. 



Very near to Dalbergia Benthami Prain, (D. rubiginosa Benth. Flor. 

 Hong-Kong 93, not of Roxb.) from Hong-Kong, but with quite different 

 leaflets and with rather longer panicles of similar flowers. Also near 

 D. rubiginosa Roxb., from Western India, but again with different 

 leaflets and rather larger flowers. In general appearance D. Benthami 

 resembles D. rubiginosa, to which Mr. Bentham has referred it, but the 

 leaflets of the Chinese plant are thicker, narrower towards the tips, and 

 have a different pubescence beneath ; the flowers too of the Chinese 

 plant are very like those of the present Kachin species and are con- 

 siderably larger than there of 7). rubiginosa. 



10. Bauhinia Pottingeri Prain; robusta senndens, ramulis lenti- 

 cellatis, glabris, cortice brunneis ; forsan cirrhifera. Folia quam lata 

 parum longiora, basi cordata, quadrante antico sinu angusto apiculato
