TEPHROSIA Persoon 
TEPHROSIA VILLOSA (Linn.) Pers. Syn. 2 (1807) 329. 
Galega villosa Linn. Syst. ed. 10 (1759) 1172. 
Galega barba-jovis Burm. f. FI. Ind. (1768) 172. “Habitat in India.’' 
Burman’s name is a synonym of the earlier Linnean one. 
TAVERN I ERA de Candolle 
TAVERN I ERA SPARTEA (Burm. f.) DC. Prodr. 2 (1825) 339. 
Hedysarum sparteum Burm. f. FI. Ind. (1768) 166, t. 51, f. 3 (err. 
/. 2). “Habitat in India.” 
De Candolle examined Garcin’s specimen in the Delessert her- 
barium on which Burman’s species was based; he indicates that 
this was from Persia rather than from India. Taverniera num- 
mularia DC. is probably not specifically distinct. 
DESMODIUM Desvaux 
DESMODIUM HETEROCARPUM (Linn.) DC. Prodr. 2 (1825) 337. 
Hedysarum heterocarpon Linn. Sp. PI. (1753) 747. 
Hedysarum siUquosum Burm. f. FI. Ind. (1768) 169, t. 55, f. 2. 
“Java.” 
Desmodium siliquosum DC. Prodr. 2 (1825) 336. 
Desmodium polycarpum DC. op. cit. 334. 
Burman’s species is clearly identical with the very common 
Indo-Malayan Desmodium heterocarpum (Linn.) DC., more com- 
monly known as D. polycarpum DC. 
DESMODIUM CAPITATUM (Burm. f.) DC. Prodr. 2 (1825) 336. 
Hedysarum capitatum Burm. f. FI. Ind. (1768) 167, t. 51, /. 1. 
No definite locality is given, but Burman’s specimen was 
from either Java or India. This is the basis of the well-known 
and widely distributed Desmodium capitatum (Burm. f.) DC. 
DESMODIUM TRIFLORUM (Linn.) DC. Prodr. 2 (1825) 334. 
Hedysarum triflorum Linn. Sp. PI. (1753) 749. 
Hedysarum stipulaceum Burm. f. FI. Ind. (1768) 168, t. 51, /. 2. 
“Crescit in Persia.” 
Burman’s species has been reduced to Desmodium triflorum 
(Linn.) DC., a very common species in most tropical countries; 
this doubtless is the correct disposition of it, as the figure agrees 
with Desmodium triflorum DC. 
ALYSICARPUS Necker 
ALYSICARPUS MONILIFER (Linn.) DC. Prodr. 2 (1825) 353. 
Hedysarum moniliferum Linn. Mant. 1 (1767) 102. 
Hedysarum moniliforme Burm. f. FI. Ind. (1768) 168, t. 52, f. 3. 
“Coromandeli.”
