Very closely related to Millettia albiflora of which it has much the flowers and 

 also much the fruits. It differs however from all other hitherto known 3Iillettias 

 in having 1-foliolate leaves. The pods are never so large as in M. albiflora and the 

 inflorescence is very different in appearance owing to its being smaller and more 

 slender. 



12. Millettia cauliflora Prain. A small slender unbranched 

 gregarious shrub 6-8 feet high, stems hardly *5 in. in diam., with black 

 lenticelled bark, bearing a terminal tuft of leaves and having small 

 nodular flower-bearing projections in the axils of leaf-scars along the 

 stem. Leaves 1-1*5 feet long, stipules subulate, '3 in. long, caducous ; 

 rachis tawny-pubescent as are the petiolules and the setaceous persistent 

 stipels ; leaflets thinly membranous glabrous on both surfaces, lateral 

 nerves in 5-7 ascending pairs impressed above very prominent like the 

 midrib beneath ; lowest pair 2 in. long 1*25 in. across, terminal and 

 upper pairs 6 in. long 2 in. wide. Calyx '2 in., glabrescent. Corolla 

 (only withered specimens seen) apparently pink, standard apparently 

 auricled. Pod solitary, at intervals along the stem, 3-3'5 in. long, *6 in. 

 wide, narrowed towards base, slightly recurved, rigidly coriaceous early 

 dehiscent, externally grey silky-tomentose ; seeds 2. Kraurihia cauli- 

 flora Prain MSS. 



Perak ; Larut, Kunstler 2555 ! 

 A very distinct species with leaves much like those of the African Millettia 

 macrophylla Hook, f., but with fewer lateral nerves. It differs from all other known 

 species in having solitary fruits (and apparently solitary flowers) in the axils of old 

 leaf -scars along the stem. The standard seems to be auricled, but whether the 

 stamens are monadelphous or diadelphous cannot yet be said. 



27. Pongamia Vent. 



A tree. Leaves odd-pinnate, leaflets opposite, ex-stipellate. Flowers 

 racemed. Calyx campanulate, nearly truncate. Corolla much exserted ; 

 standard broad, silky ; keel obtuse the petals cohering at their tip. 

 Stamens monadelphous, the upper filament free low down; anthers 

 oblong, versatile. Ovary subsessile, 2-ovuled ; style incurved, glabrous, 

 stigma capitate. Pod woody, somewhat turgid, oblong, indehiscent, not 

 winged nor thickened at the sutures. A single species, on all coasts 

 from the Mascarene Islands to Malaya, North Australia, and Western 

 Polynesia. 



Pongamia glabra Vent. Jard. Malm. t. 28. A fairly-large tree 40-60 

 feet high, with spreading glabrous branches ; bark greyish-green soft, 

 wood pale-yellow when cut, darkening on exposure ; stem reaching 2-3
