Add to localities of F. B. J.:— Burma; Arracan, amongst high 

 grass along the sea-shores opposite Akyab, Kurz ! Distrib. China. 



Dalzell's name, though proposed for the plant many years before Hance's, was 

 unfortunately not published till seven years later. 



11. Smithia grandis Benth. 



This species is not confined to Sikkim, it has been collected in Bhutan by 

 Parkes, in Assam by Fisher (where it was also collected 45 years ago by Simons), at 

 the foot of the Akha Hills by one of Dr. King's collectors, and in the lower Khasia 

 Hills by Mr. G. Mann and Mr. C. B. Clarke. Dr. Griffith's specimens, it now 

 appears, came also from Assam, not from Sikkim. 



12. Smithia blanda Wall. 



Var. 3. humilis Pram ; annual, stems slender short, leaflets as in 

 var. racemosa; corymbs rather lax, calyx \ in., corolla §-§ in. much 

 larger than in any of the other "varieties or than in the type. S. hirsuta 

 Dalz. in Kew. Joum. in. 135, not of Bah. S. humilis Benth. MSS. in

40. ORMOCARPUM Beadv. 



2. Ormocarpum glabrum Teysm. fy Binnend., Nat. Tijd. Ned. Ind. 

 xxvii. 56 ; pod 6-7-jointed ; joints oblong, thrice as long as broad, 

 plicate smooth. 



Andamans ; common, probably only as an escape from cultivation. 



General habit of 0. sennoides, of which it seems to be only a cultivated form ; 

 the pods are, however, much longer, sometimes 6 in long, with larger joints which are 

 never muricated. It must not he overlooked that the original description of this 

 form was drawn up from cultivated specimens. 



46. URARIA Desv. 

 * Upper leaves 5-9-foliolate. 



2b. Uraria acuminata Kurz, Joum. As. Soc. Beng. xlv. pt. 2, 235, 

 236 ; leaflets linear- lanceolate, glaucous-green not clouded, sharply acu- 

 minate ; pedicels clothed with long bristles ; joints of pod opaque and 

 covered with a short sparse pubescence. 



Burma ; Pegu, Tonkyeghat, Kurz n. 1645 ! Shan Hills, Makhoye ; 

 King's Collector ! Madoe, King's Collector ! 



General habit of both U. picta and U. crinita, but abundantly distinct from 

 both in the nature of its foliage, the leaflets beneath having, as Kurz remarks, a 

 very thin and lax net-venation. 



In the Index Keivensis, U. acuminata is doubtfully referred to V. picta, a sugges- 

 tion that would never have been made had specimens been available for comparison. 

 The leaves, except for being narrowly sharply acuminate, have indeed much the
