Roxburgh founded this species on specimens collected in the 

 Northern Circars, but none of his original material is now extant. 

 Specimens collected within recent years by Mr. J. S. Gamble in Ganjam 

 (which is practically Roxburgh's Northern Circars) dry of a very pale 

 colour, and have narrowly oblong leaflets with a few short hairs on the 

 nerves beneath. In shape and colour they are distinguished from 

 Wallich's own specimens of his L. parallela from Burma by a single 

 character, which is that the adult leaves of L. parallela are quite glabrous 

 beneath. But specimens recently obtained from Wallich's collecting 

 ground in Upper Burma show that the leaflets of L. parallela are, when
