A species with somewhat the appearance of Bhynchosia bracteata but with 

 much more slender stems. It also resembles, but to a less degree, Atylosia mollis 

 Its pods, however, have no depressions between the seeds and this renders it neces- 

 sary to refer the plant to Dunbaria. 



6. Atylosia W. & A. 

 Herbs or shrubs, erect or twining. -Leaves 3-foliolate, sometimes 

 subdigitate often exstipellate, gland-dotted beneath. Flowers axillary 

 or racemed. Calyx teeth distinct, longer or shorter than the tube the 

 lowest the longest. Corolla more or less exserted, marcescent or cadu- 

 cous ; keel not beaked. Stamens diadelphous ; anthers uniform. Ovary 

 sessile ; ovules 3 or more ; style filiform incurved glabrous, stigma 

 capitate. Pod linear or oblong, turgid, marked with horizontal or oblique 

 transverse lines between the seeds which have a conspicuous divided 

 strophiole. Species about 25 ; from India to Australia and Mauritius. 



Petals marcescent, leaflets large pinnately trifoliolate ... 1. A. crassa. 

 Petals deciduous, leaflets small subdigitate ... ... 2. A. scarabseoides. 



§ Attlia. Petals marcescent, remaining till the pod developes. 



1. Atylosia crassa Prain. A twining species with firm slender 

 striate shortly-tomentose stems and branches. Leaves 3-6 in. long, 

 pinnately 3-foliolate ; leaflets subtrapezoid cuspidate-acuminate at apex 

 narrow from beyond the middle to a rounded base, the lateral pair 

 obliquely, dark green and rather densely puberulous especially on the 

 nerves above, densely greenish-brown pubescent and reticulately veined 

 beneath, 2-3 in. long, 1-75-225 in. wide ; petiole l"5-2'5in. long, pubes- 

 cent ; petiolules '15 in. stipels subulate *1 in. long, pubescent, sub- 

 persistent, stipules minute caducous. Racemes 2-3 in. long, lax short- 

 peduncled, pedicels geminate *3-"5 in. long ; bracteoles large roundish 

 acute reddish '6 in. long, forming a conspicuous tuft before the racemes 

 expand. Calyx "4 in. finely grey-downy lowest tooth lanceolate as long
