Alysicarpus hamosus — Diffusa, ramis teretibus hirsutis pilis vel 

 longis rectis debilibus, vel brevibus rigidis hamosis, foliis uni-folilolatis 

 stipulis lanceolatis scariosis ciliatis, stipellis minutissimis, foliolis late 

 ovatis rotundatisve basi cordatis rotundatisve, pilosis, racemis termina- 

 libus axillaribusque paucifloris rachi filiformi hirsuto, bracteis hirsutis 

 caducis bifloris distantibus calyce 4-fido, laciniis hirsutis divergentibus 

 acutis, postico bifido, legumine breviter stipitato, articulis circiter 7, 

 supremo mucroniformi, ancipitibus nervoso reticulatis, utrinque dia-

This has entirely the habit of a Desmodium, it is in great abundance 

 on the north face of Kallinger below the wicket. I have not seen it 

 elsewhere. The whole plant is like several Desmodi very sequacious. 



184-5. — From want of flowers I am unable to identify these two 

 species of Dalbergia. The same remark applies to No. 221-2. Albizzise 

 sp. which are allied to A. Wightii. 



201-2. — Both these are distinct from any species described either 

 by Roxb. or W. and A. but my specimens being very imperfect I 

 cannot give a proper character to them, both belong to the non-twining 

 section of Strophostyles. The former has filiform stems slightly 

 hirsute, leaves shortly acuminate rhomboid, adnate stipules, subulate 

 stipells, racemes not much elongated few-flowered, legumes smooth, 

 sub-cylindric sutures slightly thickened and sharp pointed, seeds trun- 

 cated, bracts resembling the stipules. 



The other is erect, stem hirsute, leaves puberulous rhomboid or 3- 

 lobed, racemes short peduncled few-flowered, legumes straight, sub- 

 terete thickened at the sutures, almost smooth. 



243. — Anageissus pendulus — frutex v. subarboreus ramulis pen- 

 dulis foliis sub-oppositis breviter petiolatis, utrinque minute ac 

 adpresse sericeis, obovatis lanceolatisve, obtusis acutisve, pedunculis 

 sub axillaribus solitariis vel geminis 1-2 capitulatis ; capitulis parcis 

 globosis pubescentibus. 



Calycis limbo 5 dentato dentibus obtusis; stam. 10, exterioribus 

 cum calycis dentibus alternis ; filamentis longis, anthera globosa sub- 

 cordata, stylo simplici stamine, breviore basi disco dense hirsuto circum- 

 dato : nuce bialato puberulo apiculato capitulis densis pisi magnitudine. 



This very elegant bush completely covers some hills (as Patraha) to
