88 . Indigofera atropurpurea Ham, VAR. nigrescens. 
Myitkyina (C). DiSTRIB. (of the variety) Khasia Hills ; Taping 
Valley and Shan Plateau. 
This is the form for which Mr. Kurz has proposed the name 
Indigofera nigrescens ; it has much smaller flowers and - thinner 
leaflets than the true plant and doubtless deserves the specific rank 
which Kurz claims for it.
