 Singapore ; Ridley ! 



22. Millettia Extensa Benth. 



This species must be deleted from the list. Its foliage, flowers and fruit are 

 exactly those of Millettia auriculata Bak. If retained as a variety it can only be 

 distinguished, and then not in every case, by its rather shorter racemes. 



23. Millettia leiogyna Kurz. 



This species also must be deleted; it is simply Millettia racemosa Benth., 

 differing in no respect from the Indian plant. Roxburgh's Orissa plant does not in 

 any way differ from the Ooncan one. The species is quite as common in Central 

 India and in Behar as it is in the Concan. In Burma it extends from Tenasserim 

 to the Shan Platean. 



25. Millettia cauliflora Prain, Journ. As. Soc. Beng, Ixvi. 2. 94 ; 

 leaflets 13, upper oblong, lower ovate, base somewhat obliquely rounded, 

 apex long caudate-acuminate ; stipellate ; flowers solitary from small coni- 

 cal papillae along leafless stem ; pod closely silky-tomentose, not woody. 



Larut ; Perak, Kunstler n. 2558 ! 



A shrub 6-8 feet high, with dark lenticelled bark and with short conical flower- 

 bearing processes in axils of fallen leaves. Leaves clustered at apex of stem ; 

 stipules subulate, caducous ; rachis rusty-puberulous as are the petiolules and the 

 cetaceous persistent stipels ; leaflets thin, glabrous on both surfaces, bright-green, 

 dull beneath with 5-7 pairs of prominent lateral nerves, shining above with nerves 

 and midrib slightly impressed ; the lowest leaflets 2 in. long, 125 in. across, terminal 

 and upper 2-3 pairs 6 in. long, 2 in. wide. Calyx "2 in., glabrescent. Corolla appar- 

 ently pink. Pod 3-3 5 in. long, "6 in. wide, narrowed towards base, slightly recurved, 

 rigidly coriaceous, closely grey silky-tomentose. 



A very distinct species with leaves very like those of Millettia macrophylla 

 Hook, fil., but with fewer lateral nerves and with a very different inflorescence. 

 The pods in this species have thinner valves than in any of the other Indian species 

 except Millettia pulchra which, however, it in no other respect recalls. It is doubtful 

 if this species belong really to § Otosema ; it resembles much in foliage and habit a 

 Sumatran species* which has however different pods, exstipellate leaflets, and very 

 different stipules ; this species (M. stipularis) is an Eumillettia. 



* Millettia stipularis Prain; leaflets 17-19, upper oblong, lower ovate, base 

 rounded, apex rounded abruptly narrowly caudate ; exstipellate ; flowers in short 

 racemes from small conical papillae along leafless stem ; pod glabrous not woody. 



Sumatra ; R. Roepit, 300 feet, Forbes n. 2918 ! 



A shrub 8 feet high with ash-grey bark and with short conical raceme-bearing 

 processes in axils of fallen leaves. Leaves 2 feet long with glabrous rachis, clustered 

 at apex of stem ; stipules very large, obliquely oblong, acute, "9 in. long, '25 in. wide, 

 persistent ; leaflets lowest pair 3 in. long, 1*5 in. wide ; terminal and upper pairs 

 6-8 in. long, 2'25 in. across, glabrous on both surfaces, green shining above, dull with 

 prominent midrib and 8-10 pairs of lateral nerves beneath. Racemes 1-3 from each 

 papilla, 3-5 in. long, 10-15-fld., flowers shortly pedicelled, usually solitary on small 

 produced nodes showing traces of 3-5 abortive or fallen flowers. Calyx '12 in.,
