174 MR. S. T. DUNN: A REVISION 
CULTIVATED : Calcutta ; Agri-Hort. Soc. Rangoon, Proudlock, 94; Agri- 
Hort. Soc. Lucknow. 
The trivial name was conferred by Kurz on the supposition that Pongamia 
ovalifolia, Wight et Arn. (Prodr. 262), was the first name for the species. 
Wight and Arnott’s plant appears, however, from the description to have 
different flowers, with two ovules in the centre of the ovary (like P. glabra) 
and with an ecallose standard.
