358 EDIBLE FRUITS FROM THE MACLAY-COAST, NEW GUINEA. 



than half a hundred species of Canarium have become clearly 

 defined merely from India (continental and insular), we may 

 expect a considerable access still to the few recorded Papuan 

 congeners. 



" Mogar" The pod of a leguminous plant resembling that of 

 Psophocarpus tetragonolobus, and also that of Cassia alata. "A 

 climber ; the seeds edible." Fruit very prominently quadran- 

 gular; valves thinly coriaceous, pulp as well as septa none; seeds 

 small in proportion to the width of the fruit, placed longitu- 

 dinally, not provided with any elongated funicle, but supported 

 by a short narrow strophiole ; areole on each side wanting, albu- 

 men seemingly none ; cotyledons (in hardly ripe seeds, such as 

 come under notice here) straight.
