Colebrooke has written on Wall. Gat. 5630 C " Tephrosia pulchra? " ; it seems 

 probable that Dr. Watt is right in claiming specific rank for the form. Since, how- 

 ever, neither DeSilva, Watt nor the writer have collected fruits, and as there is no 

 difference in flower between this and typical M . pulchra, it seems better, till fruits 

 are obtained, to treat it only as a variety. 



5. MlLLETTIA RACEMOSA Benth. 



Add to synonyms of F. B. I. : — Millettia leiogyna Kurz, Journ. As. 

 Soc. Beng. xlii. pt. 2. 67. Kraunhia racemosa Brain MSS. 



Add to localities of F. B. I. : — Behar ; common, Kurz ! Burma ; 

 Pegu, Nagkawa, Kurz ! Shan Hills at Toungyi, King's Collectors ! 

 Tenasserim, Thounghyen, Gallatly ! 



Like most Millettias this is slightly variable, but there is no essential difference 

 between the Concan plant, and that from Behar and Orissa ; the plant from Pegu 

 and the Shan Hills is exactly like that from Behar, the plant in Tenasserim is 

 exactly like that in the Concan and in Canara. 



76. Millettia mdltiflora Coll. 8f Remsl. Journ. Linn. Soc. xxviii. 

 41 ; leaflets 9-13, usually 11, coriaceous, ovate-oblong to rounded, stipu- 

 late, minutely strigosely hairy on both surfaces, at length glabrous, 

 standard slightly silky, stamens 2-adelphous, pod sparsely silky 

 indehiscent. Kraunhia mnltiflora Brain MSS. 



Burma; Shan Hills, Collett n. 553 ! King's Collectors! 



A tree 30-40 ft. high, young branches rusty -tomentose. Leaflets obtuse 1-1*5 

 in. long, apex sometimes acuminate, sometimes rounded or even retuse, always 

 rather firm, finely reticulated especially beneath ; petiolules •§• in. Flowers in fascicled 

 racemes, shortly pedicelled. Calyx silky even in fruit. Corolla '7 in. long. Pod 

 almost woody, straight pointed, uniformly covered with white silky hairs that do 

 not conceal the raised reticulate nervation, 4 in. long, *75 in. across. 



This is compared by its authors with M. Brandisiana ; it seems also to have 

 a marked affinity with M. cana which the writer does not, however, know well, there 

 being but one example in Herb. Calcutta. 



8b. Millettia Wrightiana Brain ; leaflets ovate shortly cuspidate 

 thickly chartaceous, at first uniformly softly velvety beneath, standard 

 glabrous on the back, stamens monadelphous, pod flat on the face, woody, 

 thin, sutures slightly thickened but not winged. Kraunhia Wrightiana 

 Brain MSS. 



Burma ; Shan Hills, King's Collectors ! ■ 



leaflets rather ri^id. Racemes close simple 4-6 in. long with puberulous rachis. 

 Pedicels exceeding the calyx, slender, with a linear bracteole at calyx-base. Calyx 

 £ in., puberulous ; teeth very short. Corolla § in., standard 2-callose at base. Pod 

 3-4 in. long, 5 in. wide. 



Most nearly related to M. glaucescens from which it differs chiefly in the thinner 

 pod not winged along the sutures and not lenticelled along the valves, also in its 

 smaller bracts and its shorter puberulous rachis. The leaves when old are at times 

 only pubescent on the nerves as in M. pubinervis, and at times glabrous beneath as 

 in M. glaucescens.
