442 D. Prain — Some additional Leguminosae. [No. 2, 



This could only be mistaken for the next species, not by any possibility for any 

 of the preceding ; the diagnosis as will be seen from the key is, however, sufficiently 

 easy. 



To what plant the F. B. I. diagnosis of var. nana refers it is impossible to ascer- 

 tain because there is no example of Wall. Cat. 5748 A. or of Wall. Cat. 5749 

 at Calcutta. Wall. Cat. 5748 B., which is here, is certainly quite distinct specifically 

 from Roxburgh's species. 



Wight, Icones t. 389, is a black and white reproduction of Dr. Roxburgh's own 

 excellent coloured drawing of this species. And Wight's, Icones t. 408, is a similar 

 reproduction of the totally different F. 'procumbens Roxb. which has been redes- 

 cribed in the F. B. I. under the name F. vestita.

This is undoubtedly correctly restored to specific rank by Sir H. Collett and 

 Mr. Hemsley. After dissecting flowers of all the Calcutta specimens both of this 

 and of F. nana the writer is convinced that the two cannot be united. The nearest 

 ally of F. sericans is in reality F. ferruginea.

 230. Dolichos vestitus Qrah. in Wall. Cat. 5545. 



Roxburgh's original coloured drawing of F. 'procumbens, of which Wight's quoted 

 figure is but a rough copy, shows that the species has nothing whatever in common 

 with F. nana, but that it is on the contrary an excellent representation of the plant 

 afterwards issued by Wallich as Dolichos vestitus and described since, in the 

 F. B. I., as Flemingia vestita. 



86. DALBERGIA Linn. Fit. 



[The oldest name for this genus is Amerimnon Browne, Hist. Jamaic. 288, t. 31, 

 f. 3 ; this has been pointed out by Sir J. D. Hooker and Mr. Jackson in their Index 

 Kewensis and by Dr. 0. Kuntze in his Rev. Gen. PI. i. 158.] 



2. Dalbergia latifolia Roxb. 



It is singular that no one since the end of last century has found in the 

 Andaman group Dalbergia emarginata Roxb. which both Mr. Bentham and Mr. Baker 

 declare to be identical with the same author's D. latifolia. Perhaps it occurs in 

 the little explored Northern Island where at one time a settlement existed, but which 

 no one visits now.
