91. PiTHECOLOBlUM DULCE, Willd. Camaucliiles, Visayan, Coroo- 

 koopillay, India. Under the name of Iiiga chdcis this tree has 

 l)een introduced by the Spaniards from America into the Philip- 

 pine Islands. All round Manila the sides of the roads are planted 

 with it, and a very poor and straggling tree it becomes under 

 the influence of Manila dust. In Singapore it is used for 

 hedges, and there has quite a different appearance, when washed 

 by the frequent rains of that moist climate. It is cultivated on 

 account of the fleshy sweet pulp which is contained in the twisted 

 red pods. I am not acquainted with the meaning or origin of the 

 word Camanchiles, called also Camansilla. The seeds yield a 

 light-colored oil about the consistence of castor oil. See De Cand. 

 Prod. Vol. 2. p. 436 ; Roxb. Cor. Tom. I. 99 ; Willd. Spec. 4, 

 p. 1,000 ; Sprengel Syst.'Veg. 4 in Tom. 3. p. 12 ; Blanco, Flora 

 de Filipinas, 2nd Edit., Manila, 1845, p. 370. Blanco spells it 

 Camonsiles, identifying the species as Inga lanceolata, calling 

 attention to two varieties, one larger with thoi^ns and glabrous 

 pods. He observes that neither corresponds with Sprengel's 

 species, which is pubescent, while these are glabrous with small 

 inconspicuous flowers. 



92. Leuc^na glauca, Benth. Agho, Visayan. This species 

 has become widely diffused through the tropical regions of both 

 worlds, and has become a wild flower in several parts of Asia and 

 Africa. It is thoroughly domesticated in the Philippines ; every 

 garden is adorned with its bliTish-green pinnate leaves studded 

 with pale yellow or white globular heads of flowers. It also 

 frequently forms thickets along the roadsides in Luzon and Panay. 

 The unripe seeds and leaves are eaten raw with rice in salad, and 

 the ripe seeds are eaten roasted. The Malays call it Kamalang- 

 diengan. 



93. Kntada scandens, Benth. Gohong-bacay and Balonos, 

 Visayan dialect ; Go-go Tagalo ; Aroai-garut-penjang, Sundanese. 

 This large climber is known in Australia as the Queensland bean. 

 Its large seeds are made into match-boxes and other ornaments 

 It is very common in all the jungles of the East, and the large
