Baillon [Hisé. des Plantes ii. 112 (1869)] would reduce Pahudia to Аўгейа S Inisia, 
a proposal that, with our fuller knowledge of the genus Pahudia, it is not now possible 
to entertain.  Taubert in Engler’s Naturlich. Pflanzenfam, Ші. 3. 141 (1894) has failed 
to notice that ۶۰ Hasskarliana does not belong to this genus. 
Kurz in Journ. As. Soc. Beng. xlv. 2. 290 (1876) and For. Flor. Brit, Burm. i. 413 
(1877) founded and described a second species of Pahudia (P. zylocarpa) on a Siamese 
plant collected by Teysmann. There is no doubt whatever that Kurz’s species really 
belongs to Miquel’s genus, though neither Taubert nor Koorders and Valeton allude to 
its existence. 
The existence of a third species of the genus has now to be recorded and the 
necessity for providing a suitable diagnosis for this species renders it advisable at the 
same time to empliasise the existence of Kurz's species and, if possible, to establish 
the validity of Miquel's genus. "Through the kindness of Mr. Willis, Director of the 
Royal Botanic Garden, Peradeniya, who has generously presented the Calcutta 
Herbarium with a copy of a drawing from life of Р, javanica, it is possible to 
publish an accurate figure of that species; on another plate a leaf and pod of 
P. aylocarpa and of P. martabanica respectively are given for purposes of comparison.

44. РАНОЮІА JAVANICA Mig., Flor. Ind. Bat, 1, 1. 86 (18557, 
A tall unarmed tree, in habit like Péerocarpus indicus, with puberulous branchlets; 
leaves 15--20 cm. long; leaflets 4—5-jugate, opposite or the lower pairs subopposite 
only, ovate or oblong, subequal-sided, base rounded or slightly cordate, apex obtuse or 
abruptly shortly apiculate, margin entire, main-nerves 7—8 pairs hardly more prom- 
inent than the distinct secondary reticulations, glabrous above, beneath somewhat 
pubescent especially on the rather prominent midrib, 4—8 сш. long, 2°5—4'5 em. wide, 
petiolules puberulous 2—3 mm. long, petiole below lowest leaflets 2—2°5 еш. long; 
stipules connate at the base between the leaf-stalk and branch, subulate, pubescent 
and ciliate, deciduous above, their common base persistent, 6 mm. long; racemes 5—8 
cm. long, usually sparingly panicled, rachis strict, hoary-puberulous, bracts elliptic 
caducous; flowers articulate with the very short pedicels, bracteoles opposite, elliptic, 
puberulous, herbaceous; calyz hoary externally, pubescent within, the segments rounded 
concave; petal red, cordate at the base, acute, about as long as inner and as broad as 
the outer sepals; stamens 4 cm. long, the free filaments rather shorter than the sheath 
ovary densely villous, stipe nearly 1 cm. long, style 5 сш. long; pod 7°5—13 cm. long, 
6—7 сш. wide, 4 cm, thick, glabrous, 3—8-seeded; seeds slightly compressed antero- 
posteriorly, 48—33 mm. long, 13 mm. wide, 16—22 mm, thick, arillate funicle somewhat
