CONTRIBUTIONS : A FLORA OF BALUCHISTAN. 133 60 miles W. of Turbat, about 700 ft. (no. M9) ; Pump, 46 miles W. of Turbat, about 600 ft. (no. M63) ; 5 miles N. of Mand, about 1,000 ft. (no. M 9E) ; Ispikan, 16 miles NE. of Mand, about 1,050 ft. (no. M 9F) ; Awaran, (Kolwa), 26° 24' N., 65° 12' E. about 1,750 ft. (no. M 9H). Fl. and fr. in March 1918, Sept. 1918, Dec. 1917. Vem. Names : Matkinaok (Bal.), Sanamaki (Kechi Bal.). Note : The flowers show a great range of colour, the most common being a sweet-pea pink with a tinge of blue, but others are very bright chrome red ; white seems to be very uncommon. This species is very variable, so much so that we cannot retain Baker's varieties in Hook. f. Fl. Brie. Ind. II, 113. — It is for the same reason that we combine Tephrosia Apollinea Link. Enum. Hort. Berol. II (1822) 252, with Tephrosia purpurea Pers. There is not one character in the diagnosis of T. Apollinea which may not be observed in some specimen of T. purpurea.
