Millettia Peguensis
''Millettia peguensis'', the Moulmein rosewood (Bengali: তূমা Tuma), is a legume tree species in the genus ''Millettia''. It is native to Lower Burma and Siam. This is a relatively rare tree as compared to pongam (''Millettia pinnata'') that is very similar looking, but more common in India. Pongam has white flowers while the ''Milletia'' flowers are bright pink. Pongam has more elongated tip to leaves, while those of ''M. peguensis'' are more oval. The plant is a food source for the ''Jamides bochus ''Jamides bochus'', the dark cerulean, is a small butterfly found in Indomalayan realm that belongs to the lycaenids or blues family.

Millettia
''Millettia'' is a genus of legume in the family Fabaceae. It consists of about 150 species, which are distributed in the tropical and subtropical regions of the world. The genus was formerly known by the name ''Pongamia'', but that name was rejected in favor of the name ''Millettia'', and many species have been reclassified. Due to recent interest in biofuels, ''Pongamia'' is often the generic name used when referring to ''Millettia pinnata'', a tree being explored for producing biodiesel. Description In 1834, in ''Prodromus Florae Peninsulae Indiae Orientalis'' Robert Wight and George Arnott Walker-Arnott describe ''Millettia'' as: Calyx cup-shaped, lobed or slightly toothed. Corolla papilionaceous: vexillum recurved, broad, emarginate, glabrous or silky on the back. Stamens diadelphous (9 and 1), the tenth quite distinct. Legume flat, elliptic or lanceolate, pointed, coriaceous, thick margined, wingless indehiscent, 1-2 seeded: valves closely cohering with each other ...

Myanmar
Myanmar, ; UK pronunciations: US pronunciations incl. . Note: Wikipedia's IPA conventions require indicating /r/ even in British English although only some British English speakers pronounce r at the end of syllables. As John C. Wells, John Wells explains, the English spellings of both Myanmar and Burma assume a non-rhotic variety of English, in which the letter r before a consonant or finally serves merely to indicate a long vowel: [ˈmjænmɑː, ˈbɜːmə]. So the pronunciation of the last syllable of Myanmar as [mɑːr] or of Burma as [bɜːrmə] by some speakers in the UK and most speakers in North America is in fact a spelling pronunciation based on a misunderstanding of non-rhotic spelling conventions. The final ''r'' in ''Myanmar'' was not intended for pronunciation and is there to ensure that the final a is pronounced with the broad a, broad ''ah'' () in "father". If the Burmese name my, မြန်မာ, label=none were spelled "Myanma" in English, this would b ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
