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



Malacca ; Machap Tebung road, Berry 1006 ! 

 A climber with densely pale rusty-pubescent branches. Leaves 6-8 in. long, 

 leaflets 1-3 in. long, *75-l'5 in. wide, bases of lateral leaflets rounded, of terminal 

 deltoid, nerves ascending 6-7 pairs slightly prominent beneath, petioles 25-3 in., 

 petiolules '2 in. marginally attached. Panicles 12-15 in. long, 2-3 in. wide, rachis and 

 branches softly pale-rusty. Calyx '15 in. long, teeth triangular except upper broad 

 notched. Corolla dark-purple, "25 in. long. Pod not communicated. 



92. SOPHORA Linn. 



66. Sophora Bakeri C. B. Clarke MS 8. ; leaflets 11-15 oblong, 

 obtuse, at first sparsely pubescent at length glabrous above, densely- 

 pubescent beneath, pedicels shorter than the finely silky calyx ; corolla 

 middle-sized, pod silky. Sophora sp. Bah. in Flor. Brit. hid. ii. 251. 



Behar ; Parasnath, Thomson 1 Kurz ! Clarke ! Manbhum, Campbell ! 

 Branchlets sparsely puberulous. Leaves 6-8 in. long, leaflets papery 1*5-2 in. 

 long, '6-75 in. wide. Racemes 2-3 in. long, rather dense, half as long as leaves, 

 pedicels *12 in. Calyx "25 in., subbilabiate, lower lip distinctly toothed. Corolla 

 about twice as long as calyx. Pool 2-3 in., subdehiscent ; joints oblong, silky, con- 

 strictions between them deep. 



Nearest to S. Wightii but, as Mr. Baker suggests, very distinct. 



6c. Sophora Ddnii Prain ; leaflets 17-19, narrowly ovate-acute, tip 

 mucronulate, glabrous above even when young, softly densely-pubescent 

 beneath as are the leaf-rachises, pedicels half the length of densely- 

 tomentose calyx. 



Burma ; Chin Hills, C. B. Dun ! 



Branchlets densely-pubescent. Leaves 6-8 in long, leaflets papery 1-1"5 in. long, 

 '35-*45 in. wide. Racemes 4 in. long, rather lax, pedicels "12 in. Calyx "3 in., 2-labiate, 

 upper lip ovate-oblong, obtuse, notched, lower of 3 ovate-acute teeth one-third the 

 length of tube. Corolla one-half longer than calyx, keel and wings whitish, standard 

 purplish-brown (in dried specimens). Pod not seen. 



A very distinct species, only once reported. It much resembles, and is evidently 

 most nearly allied to, 8. Bakeri Clarke, but is very readily distinguished by its leaflets 

 being quite glabrous above and its lower calyx-teeth being longer. 



76. Sophora Prazeri Prain; leaflets 9-13, oblong subobtuse or 

 acute obscurely silky beneath, pedicels as long as the finely silky 

 calyx, corolla white medium-sized. 



Burma ; beyond Meiktila, growing near streams, Prazer. 



A small tree about 20 feet high, branchlets brown -puberulous. Leaves 4-6 in. 

 long, leaflets membranous 1-2 in. long, *5-75 in. wide, dark-green glabrous above, 

 finely silky beneath. Racemes short peduncled, rather lax, axillary, 25 in. long, 

 10-15-flowered. Pedicels *25 in. long. Calyx green, *25 in. long, mouth very oblique, 

 truncate, teeth obscure. Corolla pure-white, *6 in. long. 



A very graceful species nearly allied to S. acuminata to which it bears much the 

 relationship that S. Bakeri does to S. Wightii. The pods have not, so far, been 

 reported.
