1S76.] Knowledge of the Burmese "Flora. 261 



The Burmese variety differs from Khasi specimens chiefly in the long- 

 aciuninate not wrinkled leaflets and the black-glandular pods. 



10. F. semiabata, Roxb. Fl. Ind. III. 340 ; Wight Icon. t. 726 ; 

 WA. Prod. I. 241. {F. congesta, var. 1. semialata, Bak. in Hf . Ind. FI 

 II. 229 in part). 



Var. a. genuina, racemes elongate, more robust. 



Var. fi. viridis, racemes simple, more lax and slender, more silk- 

 hairy, always clustered in the axils of the leaves, and much shorter than the 

 petiole ; leaves of a thinner texture or less pubescent ; flowers and pods 

 usually smaller. 



Hab. Var. /3. only, but this common enough, in the leaf-sbedding 

 forests and in grassy or shrubby places, more especially in the savannahs, 

 all over Burma, from Chittagong and Ava down to Tenasserim. — Fl. CS. ; 

 Fr. HS. 



11. F. iatieolia, Bth. in PI. Jungh. I. 246 ; Miq. Fl. Ind. Bat. I. 

 163. (F congesta, var. 2. latifolia, Bak. in Hf. Ind. Fl. II. 229). 



Var. a. GEismrNA, racemes more lax and more slender, branched ; 

 flowers smaller. 



Var. /?. geaotdieloea, racemes simple, shorter and more dense ; 

 flowers about ^ larger. 



Hab. Var. (3. rather frequent in the hill-eng-forests and the drier 

 bill- (chiefly the pine-) forests of the Martaban Hills, east of Tounghoo, at 

 2000 — 4000 feet elevation.— Fl. March. 



12. F. steicxa, Roxb. Corom. PI. III. t. 248 and Fl. Ind. III. 342 ; 

 Wight Icon. t. 329 ; Hf. Ind. Fl. II. 228. 



Hab. Not unfrequent in the open forestSj especially the low and 

 eng-forests, of Pegu ; also Chittagong, Ava, and Tenasserim. — Fl. CS. 



13. F. capitata, Zoll. in Natuurk. en Ceneesk. Arch. III. 64 ; 

 Miq. Fl. Ind. Bat. 1/2. 166. (J! invoUcrata, Bth. in PL Jungh. I. 246 ; 

 Hf . Ind. Fl. II. 229 ; Lepidocoma trifoliatum, Jungh. in Topogr. Naturw. 

 Eeise, Java, 338 and in Flora 1847. 508.) 



Hab. Frequent in the open, especially the low forests, all over Pegu ; 

 also in Martaban, where it ascends into the drier hill-forests ; Upper Tenas- 

 serim.— Fl. Fr. CS. 



F. procumbens of the Kew Herbarium, from Concan (Stocks ; Wight 

 ~No. 806), has nothing to do with Roxburgh's plant and appears to me to 

 be a new species of Lepidocoma, probably connecting that genus with 

 FLliyncliosioides. 



*14. F. vestita, Bth. in Hf. Ind. Fl. II. 230. (Doliclios vestitits, 

 Grah. in Wall. Cat. 5545 ; IthyncJiosia vestita, Bth. MS.) . 



Hab. Sometimes cultivated by the Karens of the Martaban Hills, at 

 3000 to 5000 feet elevation.
