tips and unequal bases, than are the leaflets of M. enneaphyllum which have rounded 

 tips and equal bases. But the most striking difference is in the pod which is much 

 larger, and has a much broader wing than that of M. enneaphyllum ; it is besides 

 rather prominently widely reticulated throughout while the pod of M. enneaphyllum 

 is smooth. Dr. Thwaites' misidentification of the Ceylon plant with M. enneaphyllum 

 in place of M. furfuraceum, has unfortunately found its way both into the Flora of 

 British India and the Handbook of the Ceylon Flora. 



Dr. Trimen suggests that M. pubescens may be included in this species ; in this 

 he follows Mr. Kurz who united {Journ. As. Soc. Beng. xlv. pt. 2, 293), M. glabrum, 

 M. enneaphyllum, and M. pubescens. The recent accession of large suites of specimens 

 shows, however, that Mr. Kurz's proposition is altogether untenable and proves, more- 

 over, that neither M. glabrum nor M. pubescens occurs in India.

This has alternate leaflets, much fewer in number than those of M. pubescens to 

 which it bears something of the relationship that If. glabrum bears to M. furfuraceum ; it 

 is, however, just as distinct from M. pubescens as these two species are from each other. 



Somewhat similar to this, but equally distinct, is a species from Tonkin (Balansa 

 2149). The leaflets resemble those of If. hymenocarpum, but are more densely pu- 

 bescent ; the pods, too, are very different, being firm and rigid. The calyx of M. 

 Balansae likewise differs considerably from that of this species and resembles the 

 calyx of M. sulphureum.
