Native name: Ipal, ipales (Rizal). 



Penang and Perak. 



A possible second species of the genus is represented by Merrill -',002 from 

 Atimonan, Tayabas Province, Luzon, but the fruits are dehiscent throughout their 

 length, and contain four seeds; they are very similar to those of Erythrina 

 stibunibrans. As there is some chance that this number represents a mixture of 

 material, the pods having been picked up from the ground, 1 do not consider it 

 advisable to describe it at the present time.

 flowers are as yet unknown, and it is possible that the species does not belong 

 to the genus.
