 China, the Malay Peninsula and Archipelago. 



The reduction of Erythrina ovalifolia Eoxb. to E. fusca Lour., the latter much 

 the earlier, has not previously been suggested by any author known to me; I 

 fail to find any constant characters for distinguishing the two.

What I consider to be the oldest valid name is here adopted for this species. 

 It is the species usually known as Erythrina lithosperma Blume, but the original 

 E. lithosperma Blume Cat. (1823) 92, nomen nudum, and later very fully 

 described by Hasskarl ^' is Erythrina indica Lam., as noted by Koorders & Vale- 

 ton,=* while the Erythrina lithosperma Miq. Fl. Ind. Bat. 1 ' (1855) 209, is not 

 at all Blume's species but is the form here considered as E. stibumhrans. Prain == 

 proposes to retain the species under the name of E. lithosperma, but with 

 Miquel as its author instead of Blume, but to avoid confusion I consider it 

 advisable to abandon the name altogether. Both the spiny form (var. armata 

 Miq., and the spineless one (var. inermis Miq.) are represented in the material 

 cited above.
