1897.] D. Prain — Some additional Leguminosse. 351 



23. Crotalaria albida Heyne. 



Add to localities of F. B. I. : — Malay Peninsula ; Selangor, Ridley ! 



Also add the following variety : — 



Var. inopinaba ; leaves rigid linear acute densely silky beneath, 

 calyx densely silky. C. inopinafca Prain MSS. 



Shan Hills ; Yindaw, King's Collector ! 

 This plant has exactly the calyx-teeth and precisely the pod of C. albida of 

 which it moreover has quite the habit. The foliage and tomentum are however very 

 dissimilar. The corollas on our specimens are not in a fit state for examination, 

 and it seems better to place the plant for the time being under G. albida, though it 

 is more likely that it will be found specifically distinct. 



24. Crotalaria nana Burm. 



Var. typica ; leaves obiong, broader upwards, obtuse ; flowers few 

 on lateral pedicels. 



Var. umbellata ; leaves oblong, acute ; flowers many in terminal 

 umbels. C. umbellata Wight in Wall. Gat. n. 5383. • 



West and South India ; Dindygul Hills, Wight ! Nediwattam, 

 Gamble ! Canara, Talbot ! Mahableshwar, Cooke ! 



A very distinct plant perhaps deserving the specific rank claimed for it by 

 Wight. 



Var. patula Baker. C. patula Grah. in Wall. Gat. 5371. 

 Has also been collected, in a ' wild ' condition, in Hort. Bot. Calcutta, doubtless 

 having been introduced accidentally from Burma. Probably also quite a distinot 

 species. 



27. Crotalaria occulta Grah. 



Add to synonyms : — C. Stacyana Wall, in Trans. Med. Phys. Soc, 

 Calcutta Yii. 228 (1830). 



Add to localities : — Naga Hills ; Kohima, common, Prain ! 



28. Crotalaria calycina Schrank. 



Add to localities of F. B. I. : — Chittagong, Upper Burma and Shan 

 Hills ; common. 



29. Crotalaria sessiliflora Linn. 



Add to localities of F. B. I. : — Nicobars ; Kamorta, Kurz ! (C. 

 calycina Knrz, Journ. As. Soc. Beng. xlv. pt. 2. 147. not of Schrank), 

 Add to distrib. : — Java. 



296. Crotalaria burmanica Coll. Sf Hemsl. Journ. Linn. Soc.

 rather broader ; pod unknown.
