OoNCAN, StocJcs. Ceylon, Gardner, &o. 



The most like a Balbergia in foliage of the species of this section, but very different 

 in the flowers. Leaves distinctly petioled, not more than half a foot long; leaflets the 

 smallest of the group, 1^2Jin. long by^ in., obtuse or subacute, quite glabrous, 

 rigidly subcoriaeeous when mature, rather glaucous beneath, the veins immersed. Ea- 

 cemes copious, moderately close, subsessile, many of the nodes produced into short 

 spreading branchlets ; pedicels rather exceeding the calyx, finely grey-silky. Cah/x 

 j|- in. long. Corolla \ in. long; standard reflexed, nearly J in. broad. Pa? one-seeded 

 in all our specimens, oblong, l^in. by f-| in., thin but firm, glabrous, with a distinct 

 wing down the upper suture.

 Eastern Peninsula. 



Leaves distinctly-petioled, J-f ft. long ; leaflets usually 6-7, moderately firm, 

 slightly silky at first beneath, 3-5 in. long, subobtuse or acute, the veins immersed. 

 Mowers very copious, the nodes of the racemes usually produced into branchlets ; ra- 

 cemes sometimes fascicled ; pedicels finely grey-downy, ^-^ in. Calyx ^ in., subgla- 

 brous, broadly campanulate. Corolla f-J in., bright red ; blade of the standard 

 round. Fod 1-3-seeded, 2-3 in. by i— | in., thin, flat, glabrous, with a narrow dis- 

 tinct wing down the upper sutiu:e and sometimes a trace of one on the lower.

 suhglabrous, leaflets 5-9 large membranous obovate-oblong cuspidate, racemes 

 long and lax, standard glabrous, pod broad. 



SiKKiM, alt. 2-5000 ft., HooTc. fil. 



Closely allied to D. oimeifoUa, and even more showy. Leaves afoot or more long, 

 distinctly petioled ; leaflets 3-6 in. long, twice as long as broad, membranous, green, 

 glabrous on both surfaces from an early stage, with a very distinct cusp. Bacemes 

 peduucled, flexuose, ^1 ft. long, with distant nodes, the axils and pedicels nearly 

 glabrous, the nodes not produced into branchlets; pedicels ^-^ in. Calyx ^ in.,

A large handsome climber, easily distinguished from all the other species by its
