 Hab. Common in the mixed forests, especially the upper ones, all 



over Burma, from Ava and Martaban down to Tenasserim. — Fl. March. 

 Apr. ; Fr. May, June. 



Stands in a similar relationship to the preceding species as Millettia 

 extensa does to M. maerophylla, and is barely more than a glabrous variety 

 of it.

 Ind. Fl. II. 198. 



Yar. a. GEmriNA, all parts nearly glabrous ; calyx minutely velvety ; 

 pods \\ — 2 in. long ; flowers white.

 3500 to 5000 feet, elevation ; Ava, Taong-dong (Wall). — Fr. March. 



I think that var. j3. will have to be separated specifically.
