EXCLUDED SPECIES. 
AFZELIA PALEMBANCIA (Miq.) Baker; F.-Vill. Nov. App. (1880) 72. 
A Malayan species, not known from the Philippines. Probably an erroneous 
identification for some form of Jntsia bijuga, or J. acuminata.

Widely known in the Philippines as tindalo, balayong, or balarong ; other local 
names are, in Cagayan, ipil (erroneously), balayao, magahao; in Isabela, maga- 
layao; in Camarines, sangay; in Surigao, bayung, bayadgung. 
A widely distributed endemic species and a timber tree of great importance. 
Mature pods are sometimes 20 em long and 10 em wide. It varies greatly in the 
size of the leaflets, one specimen having them about 12 em long (For. Bur, 12788 
Rosenbluth), but the specimen was taken from a sprout, which accounts for the 
abnormal size. The average size of normal leaflets is about one-half the above. 
Puhudia javanica Miq., is apparently closely allied. 
The synonymy and relationship of Pahudia, Intsia, and Sindora is very fully 
discussed by Prain in his paper entitled “On the Characters and Relationships 
of Afzelia (Smith). In this paper he shows that Afzelia Sm. (1798) is con- 
generic with Pahudia Miq. (1855), and has adopted the latter name for the 
genus. I have followed Prain, for I consider Afzelia Sm. (1798) to be invalidated 
by Afzelia J. F. Gmel. (1791), the latter being the oldest valid generic name 
for Seymeria Pursh (Scrophulariaceae), in spite of the fact that Pursh’s name 
is included in the list of nomina conservanda of the Vienna Botanical Congress.
