 and are in fact, in many respects, intermediate between the two speoies* 

 The corolla of the 8. P. specimens is exactly twice the ealyx. 



Kath is manufactured from the wood in Manbhnm and Hazaribagh 

 but not apparently Catechu. 



8. A. lenticularis, Bam. 



A pretty tree, 20-40 ft. high, at first sight much 

 resembling an Albizzia, "with rongh brown-grey bark and 

 bright green foliage with large leaflets. Pinnae 2-4, more 

 rarely 5, prs., 3-5" long. Lflts. 7-12 prs. oblong or obovate- 

 oblong sub-sessile glabrous or nearly so f-l|" by §". Spikes 

 pure white 4-5" by f " stout dense. Rachis hairy. Pod flat 

 5-9" by 1-li".

 L.-rachis 5-7" glabrous or slightly hairy with a gland below the pinnae.

This is probably the tree called Kanta Biris in Campbell's list of

 be added to localities. 



& Albizzia, Durazz. Siris. 



Unarmed trees with 2-pinnate leaves. Flowers very small 

 in globose heads, usually 5-merous. Corolla gamopetalous. 

 St, numerous, united at the base into a tube, far exsert. 

 Pod flat dry strap-shaped, indehisoent or late in dehiscing, 

 aot septate. 



The fls. fc.re always sessile ; the so-called pedicel in A. 

 Ijebbek is a contracted part of the calyx-tabe and corolla and 

 staminal-tube and includes the pedicel of the ovary. Most 

 species have a gland on rachis below the pinnae aud on
