 leaves below at first densely clothed with brown pubescence. Leaflets very thick, 

 l-lj in. long, emarginate. Panides 1-2 in. long, dense, the branches densely brown- 

 velvety. Pedicels ^^ In. Calyx ^ in., with a pair of conspicuous adpressed 

 bracteoles ; teeth short. CoroUa twice the length of the calyx. Pod thin, brown, 

 glabrous, distinctly stalked, strap-shaped, 1^-2| in. by J in. 



9. D. cultrata, Ch-ah. in Wall. Cat. 5861 ; erect, leaflets 7-11 obovate- 

 oblong obtuse emarginate glabrous, flowers in short axillary fascicled panicles 

 with racemose branches, pedicels as long as the calyx, petal-claws short, pod 

 1-3-seeded not veined opposite the seeds. Benth. in Joum. Linn. Soc. iv., Svffpl.

General habit like that of D. lanceolaria. Branches and leaves below glabrous. 

 Leaflets 1^-2 in. long, moderately firm, green on both sides. Flowers in copious 

 rather lax panicles, with slender ascending subglabrous branches. Calyx i in., sub- 

 glabrous ; teeth short. Corolla twice the calyx. Pod just like that of B. lanceolaria, 

 from which it can only be distinguished by the flowers. 



*** Leaflets many, small.

OtTDH and SiLLET, Wallich. Concan-, Stocks. 



Habit of B. volubiUs, from which it can only be safely distinguished by the

 emarginate, much paler below than above, but scarcely glaucous. Branches of the
