The prior name for this species is Dolichos reticulatus Ham. but the name 

 Atylosia reticulata may not be employed for it owing to there being another A. 

 reticulata from Australia based on the Dolichos reticulatus Ait. of the Hortus 

 Kewensis which was known before our plant. The nearest ally of this species is the 

 purely Himalayan and quite distinct A. mollis Bth. (Collsea mollis Grah.) 



§ Cantharospermum. Petals falling before the pod developes.
