03F187E84B39CE7D7B2AB90B6DE3B234.taxon	description	Contrary to the statement by De Kort & Thijsse (1984: 115) biramous hairs in this species may have arms of unequal length. The biramous hairs of the upper surface of the leaflets are ± spreading, 0.4 – 0.6 mm long, with unequally long arms, those of the lower surface of the leaflets are appressed, 1.0 – 1.5 mm long, with equally long arms. The glandular hairs often differ in length within as well as amongst specimens. In the Flora Malesiana area they are fairly uniform, the longest hairs on twigs are 0.1 – 0.8 mm long and on pods 0.1 – 0.3 mm long. In Australia the longest hairs on twigs are similar to those of specimens of the Flora Malesiana area, but up to 1.1 mm long; in continental Asia they are 0.5 – 1.7 mm long; in Africa 0.6 – 2.5 (– 5) mm long. There the longest glandular hairs of specimens present in L are found in Stolz 694 (4 – 5 mm) and Tanner 3142 (3.5 – 4 mm). As these two specimens have pods with few endocarp spots they may belong to I. zenkeri Harms. The type specimen of I. zenkeri has glandular hairs up to 4 mm long. Several specimens from the Lesser Sunda Islands (Cinatti 108, Iboet 123, Jaag 417, Pleyte 93, Spanoghe s. n.) have very few or no glandular hairs. Identification of such specimens by means of the key in De Kort & Thijsse (1984) may lead to I. suffruticosa. Indigofera erectifructa Y. Endo, H. Ohashi & Madulid In 2005 Endo et al. described a new species of Indigofera from Luzon: I. erectifructa. The fruits of this species are almost erect and therefore the authors made a comparison with erect-fruited species such as I. galegoides DC., I. doachengensis Y. Y. Fang & C. Z. Zheng and I. densifructa Y. Y. Fang & C. Z. Zheng (Endo et al. 2005). The unknown plants were clearly different from these species and a new species was described. Although the authors consulted the treatment by De Kort & Thijsse (1984) no comparison was made with species recorded for the Philippines. Amongst others De Kort & Thijsse’s new species I. luzoniensis has ± erect fruits, called ‘ ascending’ by De Kort & Thijsse (1984: 127). After receiving the type material of I. erectifructa on loan a careful analysis of the characters showed that the differences between I. erectifructa and I. luzoniensis are very small. Although the important seed character could not be assessed, due to the few pods available, I am convinced that Nemoto et al. 10630, the type of I. erectifructa, belongs to I. luzoniensis. The synonymy of I. luzoniensis becomes:	en	Adema, F. (2011): Notes on Malesian Fabaceae (Leguminosae- Papilionoideae) 15. Notes on Indigofera.

03F187E84B39CE7D7B2ABF3B68E0B316.taxon	description	Indigofera glandulosa J. C. Wendl. In 1798 Wendland described I. glandulosa with the German name ‘ Drüsige Indigo’. I asked Göttingen to search the Wendland collection for a specimen of his I. glandulosa, but I have not received any answer to this request. According to Sanjappa (1995) Wendland’s herbarium in Hanover was destroyed. In 1803 Willdenow described an I. glandulosa with the same German name, contributing the epithet to Roxburgh. In the Willdenow herbarium, sub nr. 13891, there is a specimen collected by Rottler sent to Willdenow by Klein, annotated in Rottler’s handwriting with Indigofera glandulosa Roxb. This specimen was the base of Willdenow’s I. glandulosa as the sheet also contains comments in Willdenow’s handwriting. As Wendland and Willdenow were describing the same species, indicating it with the same German name, I have selected the Rottler specimen from the Willdenow herbarium as the neotype of Wendland’s I. glandulosa. The synonymy becomes: Indigofera glandulosa J. C. Wendl. (1798) 55; de Kort & G. Thijsse (1984) 119. — Indigofera glandulosa Roxb. ex Willd. (1803) 1227; Roxb. (1832) 380; Wight & Arn. (1834) 199; Backer & Bakh. f. (1964) 590. — Neotype (here designated): Rottler 750 (B, Hb. Willd. 13891), India, ‘ Mirittapadu’, 1794. Indigofera hirsuta L. In 1837 Blanco described Indigofera angustifolia. This species was renamed Indigofera tinctoria by Naves (1880). Both names are illegitimate. Merrill (1918) identified this plant as Indigofera hirsuta L. De Kort & Thijsse (1984) named Merrill’s representative specimen Spec. Blanc. 403 as the type of the names of Blanco and Naves. However, as no Blanco material of his I. angustifolia is known, they should have selected a neotype. As such I designate Merrill Spec. Blanc 403. In the synonymy of I. hirsuta it becomes:	en	Adema, F. (2011): Notes on Malesian Fabaceae (Leguminosae- Papilionoideae) 15. Notes on Indigofera.

03F187E84B39CE7D7B2ABF3B68E0B316.taxon	description	In 1841 Spanoghe described a new species Indigofera albicans based on ‘ Hallia glauca Zipp. ’. Zippelius wrote the name ‘ Hallia glauca’ on labels of several specimens he collected in Timor. One of these specimens bears a Spanoghe label ‘ Indigofera albicans ’, but lacks the indication that Zippelius collected it. As this specimen was seen and annotated by Spanoghe this collection (L 908.116 - 1306) is selected as the lectotype of I. albicans Span. In the synonymy of I. linifolia it should read: Indigofera albicans Span. (1841) 190. — Lectotype (here designated): Anon (Zippelius?) s. n. (L, L 908.116 - 1306), Timor. Indigofera tinctoria L. In 1837 Blanco described Indigofera tinctoria Blanco, seemingly with no references to the earlier description of I. tinctoria by Linnaeus. According to Merrill (1918: 179) the Blanco species is identical with the Linnaean one. De Kort & Thijsse (1984: 136) followed Merrill (1918) and placed the Blanco name in the synonymy of I. tinctoria L. As the type of I. tinctoria Blanco they cited Merrill’s representative specimen Spec. Blanc. 826. However, this cannot be the type. As no Blanco material of his I. tinctoria is known they should have selected a neotype. Here I select as neotype of I. tinctoria Blanco Merrill Spec. Blanc 826. In the synonymy of I. tinctoria L. this becomes:	en	Adema, F. (2011): Notes on Malesian Fabaceae (Leguminosae- Papilionoideae) 15. Notes on Indigofera.
