An erect, woody shrub, 4-8ft. high, with terete, glabrescent, 
old and rather angular sulcate, silky, young branches. Stipules 
linear, fin. ; caducous ; petiole l-4in. sulcate down the face ; 
not winged. Leaves digitately 3-foliate ; leaflets subcoriaceous, 
thin, not plicate, 4-6in. long, narrowed to a long point, and 
downwards to a rather rounded base, green, glabrous above, 
thinly grey-silky beneath. Recemes dense, subspicate, axillary, 
oblong, l-2in. long, sessile, often fascicled ; bracts caducous, 
linear or lanceolate, f-fin. long, silky on the back, not at all, 
rigid ; pedicels short. Calyx f-fin., densely clothed with 
adpressed, shining, pale-brown, silky hairs, teeth linear- lanceo- 
late, the lowest exceeding the others. Corolla scarcely exserted, 
keel obtuse. Stamens diadelphous, anthers uniform. Pod ob-

Uses: — It is remarkable that its native properties are ap- 
parently quite unknown to the Native doctors (Watt). 
The roots are used by the Santals as an external applicant 
to ulcers and swellings, mainly of the neck (Revd. A. Campbell). 
From this is obtained the coloring product Warns. Warns consists of a 
purplish, resinous powder, which covers the seed pods. From Waras is 
obtained a compound, Flemingin, C 12 H, lt O a (J. Ch. S. 1898 T., p. 660).
