Derris Lour. is revised for the Flora Malesiana region. In the introduction comments are given on some characters and the seedlings of D. trifoliata Lour. are described. The introduction is followed by a section ‘Notes on species’ in which the varieties of D. elegans Graham ex Benth. are described, including a new one from Celebes (var. celebica Adema) and a new one from Malaysia, Java, Borneo, the Philippines and the Moluccas (var. korthalsiana (Blume ex Miq.) Adema). Several other species are discussed at some length. A key to the species of Derris in Malesia is presented. The paper concludes with notes on aberrant specimens and excluded species.
