'on paper,' in tho "tardy deliiflCBnce " of tho pod in Mi7 ^e/fia, its " itidehiace nee " 
ill PoHf/amm and Derris. Aa a matter of fact Mr. Benthani Las placed in Derma 
specios {D microptera) the pods of whiolt dohiscB, whilo Mr, Korz has placed in 
Miltettia a species (M. monfieola) tliat liaa tho pods of a Derris. No tuxonomiflfc, 
however able, can vontnro in the abseiico of fnjlt to do more ttmti snggeat to which 
of the throe genera a particalar epecie!* shaultl be referred. A fourth genus to 
whicii similar rernarka apply is LovrltycttrpHu-^ this orilj differs from speciea of 
Dcrris tbat hn.ro thiji pods, exactly aa Pougamia diders from species of Derritf that 
have turgid pods, in having eutnrea without wings. It is, tjiortsovor, a. snsipicious 
fact that Koordera and faleton {Bijdr, II,) find the same difficulty in aoparating^ 
JPongamia from MiLlcttia. 
Ill the works of Itoxbarf^h and of Wicrht and Arnott, also in Bentham'a account 
of the L^gumiitosie in Flnnt. JiinijhHhjt.^ Miilctiia was not diTorcod from Dertis and 
its allies ; lHqnel and Kuva, too, continaod to placcj tho genera side by side. And 
certa.inly if tliey hafo adopted the less natural melhod of urrant^nment, it cunnot bo 
denied that, in so doing, theao autiiora have reiaiired a much mure coov-enient one.

Woody climbers with, uneqaally pijniatoly l-7-foliolato cxstipellato 
^leaves ; stipules small, deciduous. Flowers rather small in ample ter- 
miual thyrsoid panicles extentling iato tlio (ixih of tlie upper leaves; 
pedicels solitarj, nodes not tumid. Ca/^/.t camp auu late, teeth laaceolate 
the two upper connate. Corolla disfcincUy exserted; atundard ovate 
entire; keel boat-shaped the petals slightly cohering. Sfamefts diadel- 
plious the upper one quite free from the other 9 and adnute afc base to 
st^indaid claw ; anthers versatile uniform on alternately short and long 
free filaments. Omry sessile, few-ovuled ; style incurved filiform, stigma 
capitiite, Fod thiu flat strap-shaped membranaceous or coriaceous, 
indeliiecent, style terminal, sutures not winged. Seeds 1-3, much com- 
pressed, oblong ; i-adicle iuflexod. Species 6, Malayan. 
This intoresting genua poaaossoa tho habit of SputluAobu» with the calyx and 
almost the corolla and stamons of that gontxa. It differs, however, in having its 
flowers solitary in placo of fascicled on tnraid nodos ; in having eietipeHote leaflets 
varying in mimber in different species from 1-7 ; and in having the pod quite 
indohiacent with the aooda centrally not torminally Hituatod, in this last eharaeter 
being indistingaishaWe from Lonchocatj^iis, From Lonchocuyputs however Kitvslieria 
dJfOora in having the flowera tinfascicled, in having tho calyx toothed, and in havingf 
tho stamens diadolphoas. Ab reg^irds indorescenco Kuntttleria agrcGH tjjtactly with 
Derris § Agantype and agrees moreover with tliat group of spceiea in having th© 
vexillary stumen fret*. But hora again Kunstleria differs in having a wingleaa pod 
^d a tonthed calyx, and in having the free stamen adtiato to the standard elaw. 
"With ttie (.'Qlyx of Spatholohris then, we have aaaociated in Kuiintlena the iulloruacouco 
of Agauope nivd the pocl of Lonchocarpus. 
The genua is dedioated to tho memory of Herr II, II. Knnatlor, one of the most 
enthuaiaatie, ns he wan one of the most paiuatakiiig and faithful of the collootor» 
who havo laid down their livcH iu the cause of soieuoe in tho tropics.
