This species, though not completely represented, is quite clearly distinct from any hitherto described 
Asiatic DaPergia. It is obviously another member of group Canae, which is во largely developed 
in Central and Eastern Indo-China; the present species, however, less resembles any of the other 
Cambodian members of the group than it does the two Burmese species D. Жиғей and JD. cana 
itself, Ав regards foliage, D. Duperreana might almost be referred to D. сапа, but the fruits are 
very different, being much larger and being, moreover, quite glabrous, Тһе fruits are indeed much 
more like those of D. Kurz? though they are not quite the same; the foliage is very different 
from that of D. Ки. No vernacular name is reported for this species. `

A species known in Burma as Thit-pot, or  TAit-poh, nearly related to D. cana, but readily 
distinguished by its leaves with fewer, much larger, and differently shaped leaflets and hy its larger 
glabrous pods with larger seeds,
