BioPHYTrsr, De Candulle. 



Sf aniens 10. Capsule dehiscing locuiicidally, the valves usually separating from 

 the a.\is to the base. Leaves pinnate. 



* B. (Ox.vLis) SKNSiTivujr, L. In rubbishy places all over Burma. 

 £. Candolleanum, Wight. 



Leaflets nearly straight, in 10-1 1 pairs. Flowers larger. Capsule usually much 

 shorter than the calyx. Seeds obliijuely transverse-furrowed. 



B. ADi.wToiDEs, Wight. Mergui. 



Leaflets very une(j^ual at base, iu l'J-2o pairs. Peduncles with a clubbed mass 

 of bracts at apex. 



B. RiMXWARBTir, Walp. On poor soils all over Burma. 



Leaflets e(iual, in 10-20 pairs. Flowers smaller. Capsule almost as long as or 

 a little longer than the sepals, small. Slender herb.

AvERKuo.v, Linnmus. 



Stamens 10, of which 5 are often reduced to staniinodes. Styles distinct. Ovary- 

 cells many-ovuled. Seeds arillate or jrithout arillus. Trees ■with pinnate leaves. 



* A. c.iRAMBOLA, L. E.T. Cultivated. 

 Soung-yah (' Kamranga ' of India). 



Fruits sharply angled. Seed ariUate. 



* A. BiLiMBr, L. £.T. Occasionally cultivated. 



Fruit bluntish angular. Seed without arillus. 



The differences between A. earamhola and A. hilimhi appear to me to be of 

 generic value (Kurz). These trees produce very sour fruits, which are eaten iu 

 stews and tarts ; especially the Kamranya.

 slender, inflcxcd. 



I. EETICUL.A.TA, Wall. Comuioii all over liunna. 



E.Kactly as the preceding, but the spur short and intlexod. 



Hardly more than a form of tlie preceding. /. toinentosa, Heyne, is stated by 

 H. f. and Thoms. to grow in I'egu, but the habitat is omitted in II f. Fl. lud. It seems 

 to be the above species, at any rate the Wallicliian specimens cited belong here (Kurz). 



I. crEC^oiDKs, Wall. !Moister forests of Pegu and Tenasserim. 



Leaves on long petioles. Flowers rather small, the wings acuminate, the spur
