4.">2 D. Prain — Some additional Leguminosee. [No. 2, 



Upper Burma ; Wuntho and Bhamo, J. W. Oliver ! 



Branches glabrous ; leaves 6-8 in. long, leaflets 1-1*5 in. long, *5 in. wide. Calyx 

 i in. Corolla 3-4 times as long as calyx, standard orbicular, *2 in. broad, wings as 

 long as standard, keel much shorter. Stamens in 2 bundles of 5 each. Ovary falcate, 

 pubescent below, ending in a curved style. Pod 3-4 in. long, *9-T2 in broad. 



This is the Tamalan, a handsome tree with fine dark-red wood used for 

 axe-handles, etc. The description is from a manuscript note by Mr. Gamble, accom- 

 panying specimens of the tree sent by him to Herb. Calcutta from the Imperial 

 Forest School at Dehra Dun. 



2od. Dalbergia Prazeri Prain; a tree; leaflets 15-17 obtuse, 

 puberulous beneath, flowers in sparse axillary panicles, pedicels longer 

 than the calyx, pod thin glabrous 1-3-seeded not much thickened 

 opposite the seed. 



Burma ; Koni, Prazer ! 



Branches glabrous. Leaf-rachis. 6-8 in., leaflets moderately firm obtuse, 1-1 "5 

 in. long, glabrous above, sparsely rusty-pubescent beneath and glaucescent. Panicles 

 much shorter than the leaves with only a few lax branches, bracteoles, if any, deci- 

 duous. Calyx densely pubescent, lowest tooth linear exceeding the others. Corolla 

 unknown. Pod thin, ovate-acute, 2-4 in. long, *75 in. wide, gradually narrowed into 

 a stalk much longer than calyx. 



Evidently exceedingly closely related to D. stipulacea from which, except for the 

 sparse pubescence on the leaves beneath and the hirsute calyx it is hardly distin- 

 guishable in flower ; the pods, however, are totally unlike and this renders the 

 separation of the two forms absolutely necessary. 



26. Dalbergia torta Grah. in Wall Gat. 5879. 

 Add to localities of F. B. I. : — Bengal ; Suodribans, very common, 

 Clarke ! Heinig ! 



This, being a much older name than the name D. monosperma Dalz., must be 

 employed for the species. 



Mr. Baker has defined § Selenolobium as having stamens in two bundles of 5 each 

 thus implying that this is the case here. In D. torta, however, the stamens are, as 

 Mr. Bentham has already described them, always monadelphous. 



[29. Dalbergia stenocarpa Kurz.~] 



This is only D. hircina Ham., and must be deleted. 



30. Dalbergia parviflora Boxb. Sort. Beng. 98 ; scandent, 

 leaflets glabrous 5-9, ovate-lanceolate with obtuse slightly emarginate 

 tips, flowers very small in axillary and terminal panicles with corym- 

 bose branches, pedicels very short, pod turgid when young falcate along 

 upper, when ripe convex along both sutures if 1-seeded, and if more than 

 1 -seeded torulose between the seeds. Flor. hid. iii. 225 ; Miq. Flor. Ind.
