Native names: Banuyo (Tayabas, Samar, Masbate, Burias, Ticao, Camarines) ; 
lupigui (Cagayan, Isabela) ; melmel, dauer (Cagayan). 
A monotypic genus at present known only from Celebes and the Philippines, 
growing especially near the seashore, but also occurring inland and at considerable 
altitudes. It undoubtedly belongs in the Mimosoideae-Ingeae, although in fruit 
characters it is closer to some of the genera in Mimosoideae-Piptadenieae. It is 
well characterized by its dehiscent pods, the exocarp of which is not transversely 
jointed, and which is free from the transversely septate endocarp, the latter 
forming a somewhat loose, parchment-like, more or less inflated envelope surround- 
ing each seed, quite similar to that of Hntada, and doubtless an adaptation 
for dispersal of the seeds by water. The timber is of considerable value, and 
has been considered by Foxworthy,” under the head of Banuyo.
