sheath. Ovary pubescent style glabrous. Pod 5-6 in. long, 1 in. wide, 

 thickish, woody, usually tubercled rarely reticulated on the faces, quite 

 glabrous ; both sutures thickened and expanded into narrow wings.

By its pods this species is most nearly allied to M. tetraptera Kurz, but it has 

 very different leaves which resemble those of M. pubinervis and M. Hemsleyana 

 except in being glabrous. It agrees with these two species also as regards structure 

 of flowers though not as regards pods. As regards leaves it likewise much resembles 

 M. decipiens and M. dehiscens ; in these species, however, not only are the pods 

 without wings along the thickened sutures but the standard is silky externally. 



5. Millettia Hemsleyana Prain. An erect bushy tree 20-40 ft. 

 high, stem 10-15 in. in diam. ; branches puberulous when young. Leaves 

 6-8 in. long, rachis pubescent, leaflets terminal and in 3-4 opposite 

 petiolulate pairs, without stipels ; lowest pair broadly ovate the rest 

 elliptic-obovate all obtusely acuminate, 2-3*5 in. long, 125-15 in. 

 wide; membranous bright green glabrous from an early stage above 

 subglaucous and pubescent beneath with scattered flexuous spreading 

 hairs which quickly disappear except from the midrib and main 

 lateral nerves ; petiolules - 2 in., stipules large, 25 in., deciduous. 

 Racemes axillary, slender simple, 2*5-4 in. long, at first puberulous as are 

 the capillary, solitary or fascicled pedicels, '25 in. long, subtended by lan- 

 ceolate deciduous bracts "2 in. long. Calyx wide shallow-tubular, slight- 

 ly pubescent, obscurely toothed, *15 in deep, red, or green with a reddish 

 tinge. Corolla *4 in. long, standard orbicular 2-callose at base glabrous 

 externally, white or faintly tinged with pink, wings clawed. Vexillary 

 filament cohering nearly half way up staminal sheath. Cvary pubescent, 

 style glabrous. Pod 35 -4 in. long 5 in. wide, thin, quite glabrous, 

 sutures slightly thickened not winged. Kraunhia Hemsleyana Prain

Millettia Hemsleyana is very closely related to M. pubinervis Kurz, a Tenasserim 

 species ; it has however rather narrower leaflets and differs especially in having 

 large stipules and bracts. To M. glaucescens it is also closely related, but it differs in 

 having pods that are neither winged along the sutures nor lenticelled along the 

 valves. Both in pods and in foliage it likewise closely resembles M. decipiens but 

 that species differs in having a pubescent standard. 



6. Millettia decipiens Prain. An erect wide-spreading tree 40-60 

 feet high, stems 2-3 feet in diam. ; branches all glabrous the smaller 

 slightly angled. Leaves 8-9 in. long ; rachis glabrous ; leaflets terminal 

 and in 4-5 opposite petiolulate pairs ; lowest pair broadly ovate the 

 rest elliptic-obovate all acuminate 2-3'5 in. long 125-15 in. wide ;
