1897.] D. Prain — Some additional Leguminosse. 365 



Add to localities :— Selangor; 800-1200 feet, Kunstler 8759 ! 

 To the kindness of Mr. Ridley the Calcutta Herbarium owes the possession of 

 excellent flowering and fruiting specimens from a plant cultivated in the Singapore 

 Botanic Garden. Mr. Kunstler has collected in flower, in Selangor, specimens that 

 agree in every detail with Mr. Ridley's flowering specimens. 



29. Millettia oocarpa Prain, Journ. As. Soc. Beng. lxvi. 2. 92 ; 

 leaflets 9-13, oblong, subcoriaceous, terminal usually much larger than 

 the others, rounded at base, apex acute, glabrous finely reticulate 

 beneath ; standard very sparsely silky externally ; stameus monadel- 

 phous ; pod large egg-shaped, softly dark-brown velvety. 

 Perak ; Scortechini n. 429 ! Wray n. 2141 ! 



A climber, leaves light-green above, whitish beneath, 6-8 in. long, rachis-pubern- 

 lons, leaflets 2-3 in. long, 1-1*5 in. wide, terminal exceeding the others. Flowers in 

 small axillary panicles one-half as long as leaves, rachis and pedicels slightly puberu- 

 lous, 2 - 5 in. long, 1*5 in. across. Calyx campanulate, externally grey-puberulous, '2 in. 

 long, teeth obscure. Corolla white tinged with pink, "5 in. long, standard uniformly 

 sparsely puberulous externally, orbicular, entii*e. Stamens diadelphou?, vexillary 

 filament free. Ovary 2-ovuled, densely pubescent. Pod shape and size of a fowl's 

 e gg> 3*5 in long, 1'75 in. in diam., densely softly brown- velvety. 



Nearly related to the preceding species but very distinct by reason of its leaflets 

 glabrous beueath, and its very different pod. 



22. TEPHROSIA Pers. 



1. Tephrosia tenuis Wall. 



Add to localities of F. B. I.: — BdRMA; Segain Hills, Wallich n. 

 5970 ! Shan Hills, King's Collectors ! Laccadive Islands ; Cardamum, 

 Alcock ! Aucutta, Alcock ! 



2. Tephrosia Candida DC. 



Add to localities of F. B. I. : — Malaya ; Singapore, T. Anderson 

 n. 43! Hullett n. 670 ! perhaps introduced. 



4. Tephrosia tinctoria Pers. 



Var. coccinea Bak. (T. coccinea Wall.): in the light of the speci- 

 mens received from Upper Burma since the plant was first issued by 

 Dr. Wallich this seems to deserve recognition as a species. It differs 

 more from typical T. tinctoria as regards foliage than does T. calophylla 

 Bedd. and it has at the same time the long lax racemes on the strength 

 of which T. calophylla is kept separate from T. tinctoria. 



4&. Tephrosia Grahami Wall. Cat. 5652 ; slender, branches finely 

 adpressed-sericeous, leaves simple large oblong-lanceolate obtuse mucro- 

 nate sessile, rarely casually petioled and then sometimes with a pair of 

 diminutive basal leaflets ; flowers very lax on long slender axillary ped- 

 uncles. Kurz in Journ. As. Soc. Beng. xlv., pt. 2, 272. T. tinctoria W. 8f A. 

 Prodr. i. 211 ; Bak. in Flor. Brit. hid. ii. 112 in part, hardly of Pers.
