Manokoeari, edge of forest, on " korang," 100'. Fr. Jan. 5738. 



Distrib. Moluccas. 



A fine tree with white bole and spreading crown, pinnatisect leaves with 

 very small pinnules, and pendent white flowers, quite abundant on the edge 

 of the high forest behind Manokoeari. Only the old pods scattered on the 

 ground were collected, which, however, are very distinct, +1*4 dm. long 

 and 2 cm. broad, with a small acumen and a membranous wing, broader on 

 the placental suture. The small seeds are very close together, under 1 cm. 

 apart. These characters, with the fine dissected leaves, are well shown in 

 Koorder's 15643 (" cultivated at Buitenzorg ") as may be seen in Herb. 

 Kew.
