1. M. atropttrpurea, Bth. in PI. Jungh. I. 249 in adn. ; Hf. Ind. 

 Fl. II. 108. (Pongamia atro£mrpurea, Wall. PL As. rar. I. 70. t. 78 ; Pon- 

 gamioB sj). Griff. Not. Dicot. 444). 



Hab. Eather frequent in the tropical *f orests along the eastern and 

 southern slopes of the Pegu Yomah and from Martaban down to Tenas- 

 serim. — Fl. Jan. — March ; Fr. May, June. 



M. paniculata, Miq. Fl. Suppl. Fl. Sumatr. 301, differs only in its 

 larger and more flattened pods ; the seeds in my specimens are not 

 developed. Miquel ascribes to this species a very abnormal diadelphism, 

 viz. 7 + 1. M. sp. No. 1. from Malacca in Hf. Ind. Fl. II. 110 is 

 apparently the same. Pongamia glandulosa, Griff. Not. Dicot. 443, from 

 Mergui, remains doubtful to me, the more so as Griffith says nothing of 

 the stamens, while he describes 10 hypogynous glands (abortive stamens ?) 

 surrounding the ovary ; he compares the tree to M. atrojpurpurea. 



2. M. put-chra, Kurz in Journ. As. Soc. Beng. 1873. 69. sub 138 

 and Pegu Report A. 45 ; Hf . Ind. Fl. II. 104. (Mundulea pulchra, Bth. 

 in PL Jungh. I. 248 in adn.). 



Hab. Ava Hills (Griffith). 



3. M. Brandisiaka, Kurz in Joum. As. Soc. Beng. 1873, 69 ; Hf. 

 Ind. Fl. II. 108. 



Hab. Frequent in the upper mixed forests of the Pegu Yomah. — FL 

 March — Apr. ; Fr. Jan. Febr. 



Closely allied to the preceding species. 



4. M. cana, Bth. in Hf. Ind. Fl. II. 105. (Pongamia cana, Grab, 

 in Wall. Cat. 5903 ; Bth. in PL Jungh. 250 in adn.). 



Hab. Ava, banks of the Irrawaddi at Yenang choung (Wall.). 

 I do not know what authority Baker has for calling this species a 

 climber.
