Manokoeari, edge of forest, on “ korang,” 100’. Fr. Jan. 5738. 
Distrib. Moluceas. 
A fine tree with white bole and spreading crown, pinnatisect leaves with 
very small pinnules, and pendent white flowers, quite abundant on the edge 
of the high forest behind Manokoeari. Only the old pods scattered on the 
ground were collected, which, however, are very distinct, +14 dm. long 
and 2 em. broad, with a small acumen and a membranous wing, broader on 
the placental suture. The small seeds are very close together, under 1 cm. 
apart. These characters, with the fine dissected leaves, are well shown in 
Koorder’s 15643 (‘cultivated at Buitenzorg”) as may be seen in Herb.
