Almost universally known as supa, less commonly, and more especially the oil, 

 as manapo; in Albay also known as pauna. 



Endemic. 



Very closely allied to Sindora icallichii Benth. of the ]Malay Peninsula. 



As to the generic name, the question has been fully discussed by Prain,== who 

 calls attention to the fact that the earliest figure and description of any species 

 in the genus is Caju Galedupa of Rumph. Herb. Amboinense 2: 59, t. IS, on 

 which, with Pongam of Rheede Hort. Malabifr. 6: t. 3, Lamarck in 1786 based his 

 genus Galedupa. The first citation given by Lamarck is to Riunphius's plate, 

 from wliich also the generic name was taken. Technically, according to strict 

 priority, the generic name for the species now placed under Sindora should be 

 Galedupa, as Rumphius's figure is apparently a Sindora, and by no means the 

 same as Pongam of Rheede. To complicate the matter, however, Lanuirck's 

 description both of the genus Galedupa, and the species G. indica, applies to 

 Pongam of Rheede, as noted by Prain, and not at all to Caju Galedupa of Rum- 

 phius. In consideration of this fact I am of the opinion that Galedupa Lam., 

 should be referred to Pongomia Vent., and that Sindora should be retained for the 

 present genus. The case is not directly covered by the list of nnmina consm-anda 

 of the Vienna Botanical Congress.
