bracts at origin large, flowers small, calyx obscurely downy, teeth oblong 

 half as long as tube. Butea acuminata Kurz, Journ. As. Soc. Beng* 

 xlv. pt. 2. 243 not of Wallich. 



Pegu ; Kurz 2596 ! 



A large climber, branches glabrous. Petiole 1-2 in. ; leaflets pale-green, end one 

 3-4 in. long, 1*5-2 in. wide. Panicle over a foot long very much exceeding the leaves, 

 the peduncle with a collar of large lanceolate scarious bracts, each '4 in. long, at its 

 •origin from stem. Pedicels shorter than calyx. Calyx '1 in. long, teeth obtuse. 

 Corolla white. Pod not seen. 



This differs from 8. acuminatus (which it otherwise closely approaches) in having 

 more numereus and ascending, not, almost transverse, lateral nerves ; in having, if Mr. 

 Kurz' and Mr. Baker's notes be accurate, white not red flowers ; in having leaflets that 

 are not at all cuspidate ; and in having much longer panicles whose peduncles 

 a/rise from woody nodes, the long leaf-scales of which surround their bases. 



3d. Spatholobus rose us Pram; leaflets papery, elliptic, shortly 

 widely obtusely cuspidate, rounded at base, glabrous on both surfaces, 

 flowers small, calyx obscurely downy, teeth oblong shorter than the 

 tube. Pongamia rosea Grah. in Wall. Gat. 5907. 



Martaban ; at Phanoe, on the Salween river, Wallich n. 5907 1 

 Upper Burma; Kend at, Prazer ! 



A large climber, branches glabrous. Petiole 4-6 in. long. Leaflets pale grey- 

 green, terminal 8 in. long, 4 in. wide, very shining on upper surface, quite glabrous 

 beneath from the beginning. Pedicels very short, panicles a foot long, lax, very 

 sparsely flowered. Calyx *1 in. Corolla rose-coloured three times as long as calyx, 

 limb of standard broader than deep, emarginate. Pod not seen. 



Perhaps this may prove to be the same as Griffith n. 1678 which is referred to 

 in the F. B. I. but which is not at Calcutta ; it has a pod 6 in. long. This differs 

 from 8. acuminatus in the thicker much larger leaflets, with much shorter tips; 

 also in the longer more lax panicles. From 8. crassifolius it differs in having 

 much broader leaves with more numerous nerves, and in having obtuse, not* acute, 

 calyx-teeth ; its nearest ally is the next species which has, however, very much 

 thinner leaves with different nervation. 



3e. Spatholobus Listeri Train ; leaflets membranous ovate-acute 

 tip hardly mucronulate, base wide-cuneate, glabrous beneath, panicles 

 shorter than leaves, bracts at origin small, calyx obscurely downy, teeth 

 oblong half as long as tube, pod sessile narrowed at tip, puberulons. 



Chittagong ; very common, Lister n. 98 ! n. 293 ! n. 323 ! n. 345 ! 



A large climber, branches glabrous. Petiole 1-2 in. ; leaflets pale-green, end 

 one 6-7 in. long, 3 in. wide. Panicle 3-6 in. long, shorter than the leaves, peduncle 

 with a few small scarious bracts at its origin from stem. Pedicels shorter than calyx. 

 Calyx -15 in. long, teeth rounded. Corolla apparently pink. Pod finely downy, 3-5 

 in. long, '7 in. wide below, '3 in. wide at seed-bearing apex. 



Very near to S. squamiger, having similar but larger leaves and laxer much 

 shorter panicles that have much smaller and fewer bracts at their point of origin ; 

 also very near 8. acuminatus but with different leaves, rather laxer panicles and a 

 different pubescence on pod.
