Plains from the Western Himaiatas to Ceylon. 



An erect tree, reaching 60-80 feet in height, with glabrous branches. Leaves 3-6 

 in. long ; leaflets rigidly subcoriaceous, with slightly raised veins, green above, paler 

 and rather glaucous below, 1-2 in. long, rounded at both ends, emarginate at the 

 apex. Branches of the panicle 'wide-spreading, silky or subglabrous. Calyx ^ in., 

 more or less silky; teeth obtuse, the lowest rather longer. Corolla 2-3 times as long 

 as the calyx, the standard \ in. broad, with a large callosity at the base of the limb, 

 the keel much shorter than the wings. Pod 1|—1 in. by |-} in., bright brown, 

 flexible, narrowed to the point and gradually at the base into a long stalk. 



17. D. purpurea, Wall. Cat. 6869 ; scandent, leaflets 11-13 glabrous 

 obtuse, flowers in copious ample terminal and axillary panicles vsdth corymbose 

 branches, pedicels ebracteate as long as the calyx, calyx-teeth much shorter 

 than the tube, pod glabrous 1-seeded rather thickened and veined opposite the 

 seed. Benth. in Joum. Linn. Soc. iv., Swppl. 46.

Closely allied to B. lanceolaria, from which it differs by its scandent habit, 

 smaller flowers (under \ in. long), and shorter calyx-teeth.

 dent, leaflets 11-13 glabrous obtuse, flowers in copious ample terminal and 

 axillary panicles with corymbose branches, pedicels very short ebracteate, calyx- 

 teeth minute, pod glabrous 1-2-seeded rather thickened and veined opposite th6 

 seed. DC. Prodr. ii. 417 ; Wall. Cat. 5874 ; W. ^ A. Prodr. 265 ; Benth. in

Centbai and Eastern Himaiatas, to Pesu and Cbtlon. 



Closely allied to the two preceding. Branches of the panicle densely clothed with 

 brown velvety pubescence, the main ones horizontal or even decurved, the ultimate 

 corymbs densely congested. Calyx ^ in. long, densely velvety. Corolla 2-3 times 

 the length of the calyx. Fad just like that of D. lanceolaria. 



19. D. assamica, Benth. PI. Jimgh. 265; scandent, leaflets 15-21 

 obtuse glabrous or nearly so, flowers in axillary panicles much shorter than the 

 leaves with corymbose branches, pedicels as long as the calyx, calyx-teeth 

 nearly as long as the tube, pod glabrous flexible 1-2-seeded. Benth. in Journ, 

 Imn. Soc. iv., Suppl. 45.
