15. LOTUS Linn. 



1. Lotus corniculatus Linn. 

 Add to localities of F. B. I. :— 



Tenasserim ; on Taepo, at 5000 feet elev., Oallatly n. 836 ! 

 A very curious extension of distribution, seeing that the species has not yet 

 been reported from Upper Burma or from the Himalayas east of Nepal. 



17. USTDIGOFERA Linn. 



2. INDIGOPERA LIN1F0LIA Retz. 



Add to localities : — Upper Burma ; Br. King's Collectors ! 



46. Indigofera sq ualida Prain ; suffruticose, sparsely adpressed- 

 pubescent, leaves subsessile ovate-lanceolate acute, flowers 12-18, in 

 small sessile congested axillary racemes, pod straight tetragonous about 

 8-seeded, not torulose. 



Upper Burma; Koni, King's Collector I Fort Stedman, King's Col- 

 lector ! 



An undershmb l|-3 feet high, branching near base only, persistently "sparsely 

 adpressed grey -pubescent. Stipules linear-subulate; petiole 0-"2 in. long, lamina 

 chartaceous 2 in. long, '75 in. across. Racemes "3- - 5 in., rather longer in fruit. 

 Calyx -^ in. white-pubescent, teeth long setaceous. Corolla pnrple, twice the calyx. 

 Pod deflexed, '75-1 in. long, the valves slightly adpressed-puberulous. 



To leaves that, but for being sessile or nearly so, considerably resemble those of 

 I. Brunoniana this species adds the habit, and practically the inflorescence and poda 

 of the otherwise very different /. trifoliata. 



5. Indigofera caloneura Kurz. 



Add to localities : — Shan Hills ; Lwekaw, 4000 feet, Collett 706 ! 

 Tenasserim ; Taepo, 5000 feet, Gallatly 714 ! 



6. Indigofera Brunoniana Grah. 



Recent gatherings of this species in Upper Burma show that it is as usual for 

 the leaves to be 3-foliolate as to be simple. The species thus connects /. caloneura, 

 which seems always to be 1-foliolate, with the next species. 



6b, Indigofera Bella Prain ; shrubby, leaves odd-pinnate, leaflets 

 7-9 large, ovate-acute, stipules deciduous, racemes close-flowered rather 

 large, peduncled, individual flowers short-pedicelled, pods cylindric 

 many-seeded with somewhat thickened sutures and a very sharp abruptly 

 upturned beak. 



Upper Burma ; Myingin Hills, Prazer ! Kalay Hills, Prazer ! Pegu, 

 Kurz ! 



A shrub 8-12 feet high ; branches long virgate slender slightly 4-angled. Leaflets 

 quite glabrous above, very sparsely puberulous and very glaucous beneath, 3 in. long, 

 1'75 in. wide, rather conspicuously veined beneath ; stipules deciduous, stipels setaceous 

 sub-persistent, leaf-rachis 4-5 in. long, petiolules 2 in. Racemes up to 8 in. long, 

 copious. Calyx campanulate \ in., teeth short deltoid. Corolla white '6 in. long, 

 standard thinly pubescent. Pod 2 in. long, glabrous, tip very abruptly recurved,
