112 Gr. King — Materials for a Flora of the Malayan Peninsula. [No. 1, 



long, densely rusty. Calyx, campanulate densely rusty, '15 in. long, teeth 

 triangular except the broadly deltoid slightly bifid upper, rather more 

 than half as long as tube. Corolla *25 in. long, standard broadly ovate. 

 Pod thin flat densely rusty- pubescent and distinctly reticulated, 6 in. 

 long 2 '25 in. wide.

A very distinct species, in inflorescence most resembling K. Forbesii but with 

 leaves of the consistence and appearance of those of K. Kingii, though with 5 leaflets 

 in place of 3. The pod however is very different from that of K. Kingii, and 

 resembles that of K. Curtisii, the chief difference being that the meshes of the reti- 

 culations on the valves are much opener in K. Eidleyi than in K. Curtisii. 



5. Konstleria Derryi Prain. A climber with densely pale-rusty 

 pubescent branches. Leaves 6-8 in. long, leaflets 7, ovate-lanceolate, 1-3 

 in. long '75— 1*5 in. wide, terminal with deltoid base considerably exceed- 

 ing the lateral with rounded bases, all with cuneate apex, lateral nerves 

 ascending 6-7 pairs, rather prominent as is the midrib beneath, margin 

 entire ; rigidly chartaceous pale-green subscabridly pubescent on the 

 nerves above, uniformly subscabrid beneath as are the petioles 2*5-3 in., 

 and the marginally attached petiolules "2 in. long. Flowers in rather 

 strict terminal and axillary panicles 12-15 in. long 2-3 in. wide, rachis 

 and branches softly pale-rusty as are the very short pedicels and the 

 very small lanceolate bracts. Calyx campanulate, densely rusty-pubes- 

 cent, *15 in. long, teeth triangular, upper rather broader, notched, half as 

 long as tube. Corolla dark-purple '25 in. long, standard oblong. Pod 

 not seen. 



Malacca; Machap Tebung Road, Berry 1006 ! 



Leaves and branches with exactly the pubescence of K. Curtisii vak. laxiflorahub 

 with 7 leaflets instead of a solitary leaflet and with marginally, not subpeltately 

 attached petiolules. 



30. Dalbergia Linn. fil. 



Trees or climbing shrubs. Leaves with alternate subcoriaceous 

 leaflets. Flowers copious, small, in terminal or lateral panicles. Calyx 

 campanulate ; teeth 5, distinct, usually short. Corolla exserted ; stand- 

 ard broad ; keel obtuse, with its petals only joined at the tip. Stamens 

 9-10, monadelphous, the sheath split above, or diadelphous, the sheath 

 split also down the keel ; anthers minute, basifixed, with the cells back 

 to back, and the slit mostly short and apical. Ovary stalked, few- 

 ovuled; style short, incurved, glabrous, stigma capitate. Pod oblong 

 or strap-shaped, usually thin and flat, 1-4-seeded, indehiscent, not 

 thickened or winged at the sutures. Species 60-70, cosmopolitan in 

 the tropics.
