Nomenclatural note.

This plate by an unknown artist at the Bombay Botanic Garden at Dapuri, commissioned by Nicol Alexander Dalzell, has the annotation "comm. N. Dalzell 1/72 [January 1872], Wisteria pallida Dalz. corrected to Millettia pallida Dalz. mss." in Dalzell’s hand. It is numbered 18 among Dalzell’s artworks in J. D. Hooker’s collections at K and represents the white or pale creamy-yellowish flowered form of this species in western India. It is recombined by us here as var. pallida . Another illustration representing this taxon is of a plant that was cultivated at the Madras Agri-Horticultural Garden. The plant was collected from the Rammanmally [Sandur] Hills, Karnataka by the garden’s superintendent Colonel Francis Archibald Reid and later painted by the artist P. Mooregasan Moodeliar in July 1853. RBGE CAH 27 (Cleghorn Collection, see Noltie 2016: 43)
