This differs from Wight and Arnott's 71 Rookeriana [T. colutea Wight in Wall, 
Cat. 5647 not of ?ers.) in hnTing leaflets almost twice aa long mid glabrous above; in 
true T. Ifookeriana the leafieta are pnbescont above as well aa beneath. As Hatuilton 
in Trana. Linn. Soc. XIII, 546 givea tha alternativo name Tephrosia hirta to the. 
Gulegn hirta cited under thifl specieB by Mr. Baker, it inust follow, if Mr. Baker'a 
identifiorttioa be correct, tliat tlio name T. hirta Ham. should bo cited for the species. 
Dr. Hamilton'a diagnosis, however, ia of a plant with '* falcate pods in " dense " 
raceniea, two chai-actera which exclude T. hirta from thia species and which point to 
ila being a form of T. villosa, 
Tltere is littU doabfc that in a critical rcTiew of the genua the Malayan 
and North Indian plant should be looked on aa specifically disti not from t lie trao 
T. Haokeriana of Sotitlieni India; but as an African T. anicena Eckl. has already 
been published, Dr. Wullich'a MS3, name is not available. The specioa migbt, 
however, be known as Tephrosia etiba«ccna* The Tephrosia amasna " Pers," oited by 
Hr. Baker does not exist.

Trees, Bhrubs or largo Tvoody climbers witli odd-pinnate, rarelj- 
1-foliolate leaves; the leaflets opposite atid usually large, genemlly 
stipellate. Flowers large and showy in axillary solitary or fascicled 
i-acemes and ia terminal panicles, the florets single or ia fascicles along 
the rachis. Calyx cup*sbaped lobed or slightly toothed ; teeth 5 or the 
2 upper connate or absent. Corolla much ©xserted, petals long-clawed ; 
standard broad spreading or reflexed, aiii iclcd or not at the base ; wings 
free or ouly cohering at the tip, oblong sickle-shaped j keel incurved 
obtuse. Stamens monadelphons or diadelphotis, the vexillary filanaenfc 
being united at the base or aa far as the middle with the others, or 
being qnite free ; aiitberB uniform, filaments filiform. Ovary linear 
sessile or sliorfcly stalked surrounded at base by an an malar disc-liko 
sheath ; ovules rather numerons; style filiform incurved glabrous, stignna 
capitate. Fod linear, lanceolate or oblong, usually compressed and flat^ 
occasionally turgidj thickly coriaceous or woody; late or hardly dehiscent. 
Species about 60 ; especially prevalent in Indo-Cliina and Malaya. 
Tho goniis Millettia ia retained here because its Bpeciea are familiRr to residentB 
in fbe east under this name. But, as Baron von Mueller haa shown, there ia no room 
for a genus Milicttia apart from ff'istaria. The name irtstoria unfortunately, 
though it has come into common use among horticnlturista, ib not the one that waa 
origiually given to the genus. The oldest namCj'as pointed out hj Dr, 0. Kuntze, ia 
Phassoloideis and tbia, in a modified form, that author proposes to employ. Adjcc.. 
tives are not, however, advisable as generic names and the name Kraunhia which, 
as 8ir Joseph Hooker and Mr. Jackson point ont, is tho eartieat unobjectionable 
name, appears to be that which, when the two genera are united, most be employed 
for their speoieft.
