Merrill: Burman’s Flora Indica 
357 
Burman’s species is clearly identical with the one described 
a year earlier by Linnaeus; both descriptions were doubtless 
based on material from the same collection. It is widely dis- 
tributed in India. 
URARIA Desvaux 
URARIA CRINITA (Linn.) Desv. Journ. Bot. 1 (1813) 123. 
Hedysarum crinitum Linn. Mant. 1 (1767) 102. 
Hedysarum crinitum Burm. f. FI. Ind. (1768) 169, t. 56. “Habitat 
in Java.” 
A characteristic Indo-Malayan species, both Burman’s and 
Linnaeus’s binomials doubtless being based on material of simi- 
lar origin. 
PONGAMIA Ventenat 
PONGAMIA PINIMATA (Linn.) Merr. Interpret. Herb. Amb. (1917) 271. 
Cytisus pinnatus Linn. Sp. PI. (1753) 741. 
Robinia mitis Linn. op. cit. ed. 2 (1763) 1044. 
Robinia javanica Burm. f. FI. Ind. (1768) 163. “Habitat in Java.” 
Burman’s species was based on a flowering specimen, and 
in view of this fact it is scarcely possible that it is a synonym 
of Cassia sulfurea DC. - Cassia glauca Lam., to which it has 
been reduced and which Burman otherwise described as Cassia 
surattensis Burm. f. The description is entirely inadequate, 
consisting only of the statement: “caule inermi foliis pinnatis 
sex jugis, pedunculis simplicibus multifloris.” Burman’s species 
is apparently identical with the common and widely distributed 
Pongamia pinnata (Linn.) Merr., currently known as Pongamia 
glabra Vent. 
ELEIOTIS de Candolle 
ELEIOTIS MONOPHYLLA (Burm. f.) DC. Mem. Legum. 7 (1825) 350, 
Prodr. 2 (1825) 348. 
Glycine monophyllos Burm. f. FI. Ind. (1768) 161, t. 50, f. 2. “Hab- 
itat Coromandeli.” 
Hedysarum sororium Linn. Mant. 2 (1771) 270. 
Eleiotis sororia DC. 1. c. 
Burman’s specific name has priority and should be retained 
for this species. The description of Burman and that of Lin- 
naeus were doubtless based on material from the same collection. 
TERAMNUS P. Browne 
TERAMNUS UNCINATUS (Linn.) Sw. Prodr. (1783-87) 105. 
Dolichos uncinatus Linn. Sp. PI. ed. 2 (1763) 1019.
