oxburgh, who first took up this plant under the name of 
Andrachne trifoliata, observes that it is a native of all parts of 
India. We can perceive no specific distinction oe in our 
specimens fro om Java, sent by De bse from t ippine 
sent no pelt but the somewhat larger fruit; and it is more 
imited to one ‘species. The trifoliolate vats es, combined with the 
arborescent character (its trunks in Java are used for masts and 
spars of vessels), are uncommon in this natural meek and Blume 
was led to place the genus in Zerebinthacee. In Bombay, whence 
our specimens figured are derived, the tree has the rive name of 
Bake, and grows in the ae, lat. 16°, elev. 2000 feet above
