1. Millettia? Luzonensis, Sp. Nov. 



M. scandens? glabrata; foliolis 7 ovatis seu ovalibus acuminatis mem- 

 branaceis supra glabris subtus glaucis; racemis axillaribus sessilibus 

 confertifloris folio brevioribus; pedicellis solitariis vel geminis calyce 

 truncato subasquilongis ; vexillo glabro ecalloso; ovario glaberrimo. 



Hab. Shores of Laguna, Baiios, Luzon. 



There is only a miserable flowering specimen of this plant in the 

 collection, which, from the floral characters, must belong to Millettia, 

 as the genus is defined by Mr. Bentham (in PI. Jungh.), since the 

 vexillum is not auriculate, and the stamens are diadelphous : but it 

 does not accord with any described species. The plant is apparently 

 a climbing or sarmentose, stout, shrubby vine, glabrous, except a 

 minute pubescence on the young parts. Leaves pinnate. Leaflets 7, 

 ovate, or nearly oval, acuminate, about 21 inches long, pale or glaucous 

 underneath, membranaceous. Racemes axillary, shorter than the leaf, 

 sessile, being floriferous quite to the base. Pedicels crowded, either 

 single or in pairs on the nodes of the rhachis, about the length of the 

 truncate calyx, 3 lines long. Corolla 7 or 8 lines long : vexillum gla~ 

 brous, not callose at the base, not auricled, oval or roundish. Carina 

 very obtuse; the apex incurved. Ovary glabrous, linear, several- 

 ovuled. Fruit unknown.
