EXCLUDED SPECIES. 



Afzelia palembaisTcia (Miq.) Baker; F.-Vill. Nov. App. (1880) 72. 

 A Malayan species, not known from the Philippines. Probably an erroneous 

 identification for some form of Intsia bijuga, or I. acuminata.

Widely known in the Philippines as tindalo, balayong, or balarong; other local 

 names are, in Cagayan, ipil (erroneously), balayao, magahao; in Isabela, maga- 

 layao; in Camarines, sangay ; in Surigao, bayung, bayadgung. 



A widely distributed endemic species and a timber tree of great importance. 

 Mature pods are sometimes 20 cm long and 10 cm wide. It varies greatly in the 

 size of the leafiets, one specimen having them about 12 cm long {For. Bur. 12788 

 Rosenbluth) , but the specimen was taken from a sprout, which accounts for the 

 abnormal size. ■ The average size of normal leaflets is about one-half the above. 

 Puhudia javanica Miq., is apparently closely allied. 



The synonymy and relationship of Pahudia, Intsia, and Sindora is very fully 

 discussed by Prain in liis paper entitled "On the Characters and Relationships 

 of Afzelia (Smith)."' In this paper he shows that Afzelia Sm. (1798) is con- 

 generic with Pahudia Miq. (1855), and has adopted the latter name for the 

 genus. I have followed Prain, for I consider Afzelia Sm. (1798) to be invalidated 

 by Afzelia J. F. Gmel. (1791), the latter being the oldest valid generic name 

 for Seymeria Pursh (Scrophulariaceae) , in spite of the fact that Pursh's name 

 is included in the list of nomina conscrvanda of the Vienna Botanical Congress.
