440 D. Prain — Some additional L^guminosae. [No. 2, 



The synonyms and distribution of these different species are as fol- 

 lows : — 



7a. Flemingia congesta Roxb. Hort. Beng. 56 ; Flor. lnd. iii. 340 ; 

 DG. Prodr. ii. 351; W. 8f A. Prodr. 241; Wight, Jet. 390; Balz. #• 

 Gibs. Bomb. Fl. 75; Wall. Cat. 5747 (for the most part) ; Miq. Flor.: 

 Ind. Bat. i. 164 ; Bah. in Flor. Brit. Ind. ii. 228 (exol. syn. F. angusti- 

 folia Eoxb. and all the varieties); Kurz in Journ. As. Soc. Beng. xlv. 

 2. 260. Crotalaria macrophylla Willd. Sp. PI. iii. 982. Rhynchosia 

 crotalarioides DG. Prodr. ii. 387. 



Of this there are two very distinct varieties : — 



Var. a. typica ; petioles not winged, leaves dark-green. (To this 

 variety belong all the synonyms cited above). 



Common everywhere throughout India, British Indo-China and the Malay 

 Peninsula. Owing to this having been first described as Crotalaria macrophylla, Dr. 

 O. Kuntze has taken the opportunity of employing the name " F. macrophylla 

 Kuntze," with what precise significance he has failed to make clear. 



Var. p. viridis ; petioles distinctly winged, leaves thinner and pale- 

 green. Flemingia semialata Wall. Gat. 5746 D. (not at all of Boxb.) 

 F. semialata var. viridis Kurz in Journ. As. Soc. Beng. xlv. 2. 261. 



Concan ; Stocks ! Gibson ! Vingorla, T. Goohe ! Behar ; Bettiah, 

 Hieronymus ! Burma ; Prome, Wallich 5746 D ! Rangoon, Cleghorn ! 

 Pegu, Kurz ! Brandis ! Shan Hills, common, King's Collectors ! Tenas- 

 serim ; Migatoom, Gallatly ! 



This variety, though very widespread in Burma, seems to be rare in India. 



76. Flemingia prostrata Boxb. Flor. Ind. iii. 338 ; Benth. in PL 

 Jungh. 245 ; Kurz in Journ. As. Soc. Beng. xlv. 2. 260. F. angustifolia 

 Roxb. Flor. Ind. iii. 341. F. congesta Bah. (in part) and F. congesta 

 var. semialata Bah. {in part) loc. cit., but not at all either F. congesta or 

 F. semialata of Roxb. 



Hardwar ; Hardwiche. North Bengal; Titalya, Kurz! East 

 Bengal ; Mymensingh, Clarke 7830 ! Comilla, Clarke 14228 ! Assam ; 

 Sadiya, G. Gammie ! Khasia ; Hooher and Thomson ! G. Mann ! Clarke 

 18667! 38916! 40327! Burma; Shan Hills, Collett 411 ! Martaban, 

 Kurz ! Distrib. China (Hupeh, Henry n. 1640). 



The Comilla, the Sadiya, the Burmese, and some of the Khasia specimens accord 

 well with the description given by Roxburgh of F. prostrata, which was not described 

 by him from Indian specimens but from plants raised from Chinese seeds ; the re- 

 mainder either accord with F. angustifolia or serve to connect the two plants. 



7c. Flemingia perruginea Grah. in Wall. Gat. 5750 ; Benth. in PI. 

 Jungh. 245 ; Kurz in Journ. As. Soc. Beng. xlv. 2. 260. F. congesta var. 

 Wightiana Bak. in Flor. Brit. Ind. ii. 229 in part, not F. Wightiana 

 Grah.
