 stage on both surfaces except for occasionally a few scattered hairs on 

 the midrib beneath ; petiolnles *2 in. Racemes axillary slender simple

 pedicels, *2 in long. Calyx wide shallow-tubular, slightly pubescent,

 densely silky externally, 2-callose at base, pink, or white with a pink 

 tinge, wings clawed. Vexillary filament cohering half way up staminal 

 sheath. Ovary pubescent, style glabrous; ovules 4. Pod 4-5 in. long,

The flowers of this species so much resemble those of Pongamia glabra that, 

 with flowering examples, only careful dissection to ascertain the number of ovules 

 satisfactorily distinguishes the two. Another species extremely nearly related to 

 this is Millettia dehiscens (Pongamia dehiscens Koord. & Val. JBijdr. II. 96) a Java 

 tree with the same silky standard, but with the ovary 5- or more-ovuled ; its leaves 

 are like those of If. glaucescens, its pods like those of M. ovalifolia. 



7. Millettia coerulea Bak. in Flor. Brit. Ind. II, 107. A woody 

 climber with glabrous branches. Leaflets terminal and in 3 petiolulate 

 pairs, stipellate ; obovate-oblong cuspidate 4-6 in. long ; subcoriaceous, 

 glabrous on both sides from an early stage; petiolules "15 in. long. 

 Racemes short-peduncled, close, axillary. Flowers short-pedicelled, 

 densely fascicled. Calyx campanulate 1 in., faintly silky, nearly trun- 

 cate. Corolla three times the calyx, the standard densely white- 

 canescent on the back. Stamens monadelphous. Pod large flat rather 

 woody, linear-oblong 7-8 in. long, l - 5-l*75 in. wide, recurved, late in 

 dehiscing, clothed with dense short persistent brown-velvety pubes- 

 cence. Pongamia coerulea Grab, in Wall. Cat. 5894. 



Malacca ; Griffith. Distrib. Burma. 

 The above description is taken from the Flora of British India, there being no 

 specimen at Calcutta either of the Burmese or of the Malacca types of Mr. Baker's 

 species. The specimens here that accord, best with the description are some from 

 Penang (Curtis n. 2459) ; they are in fruit only and may prove to belong to M. coerulea. 

 The plant is noted, however, as a " tree ;" the specimens have 5-foliolate leaves and 

 the leaflets resemble those of M. albijiora, of which it may equally well be a variety. 



8. Millettia Maingati Bak. in Flor. Brit. Ind. II, 110. A creeper 

 over 100 feet long ; young branches pale brown-pubescent. Leaves 8-10 

 in. long, leaflets terminal and in 5-8 opposite pairs, shortly petioluled 

 stipellate ; oblong, base rounded, apex rounded or subacute, 15-2 in. 

 long 1 in. across, coriaceous, light green and glabrous above, velvety
