26. Millettia ALBiFLORA Prain, Journ. As. Soc. Beng. lxvi. 2. 92 ; 

 leaflets 5, rarely 7, more rarely only 3, elliptic-lanceolate, apex caudate, 

 subcoriaceous, glabrous ; standard glabrous ; stamens monadelphous ; 

 pod very large flat rather woody, finely brown- velvety. 



Malay Peninsula; Perak, common. Pahang, Ridley n. 2641 ! 



A large spreading tree sometimes 80-100 feet high {Kunstler) usually 30-50 

 feet, trunk 2-3 feet in diam. Leaflets 5-10 in. long, 1*5-2*5 in. across, lowest pair 

 rather smaller, shining above, dull beneath ; petiolule "25 in. Flowers in long narrow 

 panicles longer than the leaves, from the upper axils of branches, often 1-125 ft. 

 in length ; individual racemes 4-6 in., flowers solitary on pedicels 15 in. long ; 

 peduncles, pedicels and calyx all rusty-puberulous. Calyx *25 in. long, tube cara- 

 panulate, teeth triangular rather shorter than tube, the two upper connate 

 emarginate. Corolla pure-white, '75 in. long, standard orbicular 2-auriculate above 

 the claw. Vexillary filament cohering half way up the staminal sheath, or at length 

 free. Ovary puberulous. Pod linear, 7-13 in. long, 1*5-2 in. wide, softly brown-velvety. 



27. Millettia unifoliata Prain, Journ. As. Soc. Beng. lxvi. 2. 93 ; 

 leaflets solitary obovate- oblong or lanceolate, subcoriaceous, glabrous ; 

 standard glabrous ; stamens monadelphous ; pod large flat, rather woody,

A spreading tree 30-40 feet high, trunk 1 foot in diam, branches glabrous. Leaflets 

 with reticulations visible on both surfaces, 6-8 in. long, 1*5-3 in. wide, beneath dull, 

 above shining. Flowers in very slender axillary panicles shorter than the leaflets, 

 individual racemes short, few-fld., separated by intervals 1 in. long, peduncles 

 pedicels and calyx-tube glabrous. Calyx *2 in. long, 2-bracteolate at the base, 

 bracteoles ovate-lanceolate very small, teeth glabrous externally pubescent within. 

 Corolla *75 in. long, pure-white, standard orbicular retuse, 2-callose at base of 

 lamina. Stamens monadelphous in a sheath split along vexillary side. Ovary 

 puberulous. Pod linear, 6 in. long, 1 in. across, tapering to both ends. 



Very distinct owing to its 1-foliolate leaves but nevertheless very closely related 

 to the preceding species, which in leaflets, buds, corolla and pods it much resembles.

Add to description of F. B. I. :• — 



A creeper over 100 feet long. Leaves light green. Flowers in small axillary 

 panicles one-third as long as leaves, 2*5 in. long, 1*5 in. across, rachis and pedicels 

 rusty-pubescent. Calyx campanulate, externally rusty-pubescent, *2 in. long, teeth 

 wide-triangular half as long as tube. Corolla white tinged with pink, *5 in. long, 

 standard orbicular emarginate, slightly puberulous externally. 



rusty-puberulous. Corolla purple, standard orbicular *3 in. long, emarginate, exter- 

 nally slightly pubescent, exauriculate. Stamens monadelphous. Mature pod quite 

 glabrous, linear, straight, rigidly coriaceous, 3-4 in. long, *5-*75 in. broad. 



The flower of this species are like those of M. caudata, as are the pods j the 

 standard is however without auricles.
