Seeds black, 5 mm. long, 2 to 3 mm. broad, 1*5 to 2 mm. 

 thick. 



Hijpocotijl terete, pale with pinkish tinge, becoming 

 reddish, 1*3 to 2 cm. long, 1 to 2 mm. thick at base, '7 to 

 1 mm. at apex, glabrous. 



Cotyledons sessile, auricled, oblong to obovate-oblong, 

 about 6 mm. long, 3 mm. broad, brownish-red on both sides, 

 a few raised lines on underside. 



Stem at first slightly angular where affected by decurrent 

 leaf-stalks, green to greenish-brown, pilose. First inter- 

 node *5 mm.; second 2 mm. to 1 cm.; third to eighth 2 mm, 

 to 2 cm. 



Leaves— No. 1. Abruptly pinnate, petiole 3 to 4 mm., 

 glabrous; leaflets three to five pairs, oblong-acuminate, 

 sometimes mucronate, up to 8 mm. long, 2 to 3 mm. broad, 

 upperside green, underside reddish to red, venation distinct; 

 rachis 8 mm. to 1 cm., glabrous, excurrent. 



No. 2. Abruptly bipinnate, petiole 1*5 to 1*7 cm., some- 

 times with gland on upper edge, pilose, excurrent; leaflets 

 four pairs, the lower ones oblong-acuminate, the terminal 

 pair obovate, mucronate, up to 6 mm. long, 2 to 3 mm. 

 broad, underside reddish to red, venation distinct; rachis 

 1 to 1*5 cm., glabrous to pilose, excurrent; stipules reduced

In one case No. 2 appeared as a tripinnate leaf, but the 

 excurrent point of the petiole was present near the central 

 pinna. 1
