МЕ. Ө. BENTHAM'S SYNOPSIS OF DALBERGIEJE, 
D. pseudo-Sissoo, Miq. Fl. Ned. Ind. i. p. 128, appears from his 
description to be the same plant as the D. Championi; and if so, his 
name, however unfortunately selected, should be adopted as having the 
right of priority. I have not, however, ventured to do so without seeing 
his specimens, as he does not mention the number of ovules in the ovary. 
Hab. Java and Borneo.

lorum ungues calycis tubum subzquantes. Ovarium pilosulum, ovulis
