utrinque circiter 12, perspicuis; inflorescentiis racemosis, sub 
fructu foliis subaequantibus ; leguminis crassis, ovoideis (1- 
spermis) vel oblongis (2-spermis), glabris, acuminatis, 3 ad 
6 cm longis, circiter 2.5 cm latis, valvis in vivo subcarnosis, 
in siccitate crasse coriaceis, dense et perspicue lenticellato- 
verruculosis. 
A suberect shrub with elongated, arcuate branches up to 4 m 
in length, apparently ultimately scandent, glabrous except the 
inflorescences and the leaves. Branches terete, brownish, lenti- 
cellate, glabrous. Leaves up to 35 cm in length, the petiole and 
rachis glabrous, reddish-brown or dark-brown. Leaflets estipel- 
late, oblong, chartaceous, 8 to 12 cm long, 3 to 4.5 cm wide, apex 
shortly acuminate, base acute to obtuse, the upper surface gla- 
brous, shining, olivaceous or brownish-olivaceous, the lower sur- 
face paler, rather densely pubescent with short, cinereous hairs ; 
lateral nerves about 12 on each side of the midrib, impressed 
on the upper surface, prominent beneath, curved, obscurely anas- 
tomosing; petiolules dark-brown, rugose, 5 mm long or less; 
stipels none. Racemes in fruit about as long as the leaves, spar- 
ingly pubescent, lenticellate. Pods somewhat fleshy when fresh, 
ovoid to oblong in outline (ovoid when 1-seeded, oblong when 
2-seeded), 3 to 6 cm long, about 2.5 cm wide, acuminate, base 
rounded, when fresh nearly as thick as wide, when dry distinctly 
compressed, the valves when dry thickly coriaceous and very 
prominently and densely verrucose-lenticellate, glabrous, tardily 
dehiscent. Seeds (somewhat immature) about 1.5 cm in dia- 
meter. ,

I was at first disposed to refer these specimens to Millettia oosperma 
Dunn, to which the species is perhaps most closely allied, but they differ 
radically from Dunn’s species in their more numerous leaflets (never 2- 
jugate), and shorter, glabrous pods. The species is dedieated to Mr. S. T. 
Dunn, late director of the Hongkong Botanic Garden and author of a 
recent revision of the genus Millettia.

Loureiro’s type was from the vicinity of Canton, and his description 
applies unmistakably to the form commonly known as Albizzia milletii
