I have been quite unable to identify even the genera of these five. So also Acacia 

 Syst, iii. 138, non Balb. {A. Sprengelii, G. Don, Gen. Syst. ii. 410, non Hook, et Arn.), from jlmaka^ 

 must be some :Mimosea known under another name. I did not find it in the Bertcrian collections named 

 by Sprengel which I have seen.

East-Indian species ; but the diagnosis is insufficient to identify it.

for Desvaux's plants are not to be relied upon. The characters given do not agree witli any known En«t. 

 Indian species, and are wholly insufficient for identification with any others. I found no specimen in 

 Desvaux's herbarium. 



Albizzia macrothyrsa, Miq. Fl. Ind. Bat. Suppl. 281, from Sumatra, of which the fruit is unknown, is, 

 from the description, most probably either PiMeco/oJmwi bubalinum, or P. microcarpinn, two «p<»ci(s uhicli 

 without close comparison of specimens it is almost impossible to distinguish when in flower only. 



C. Species described from foliage only, without flowers or fruit, and vldch cauuol hf 

 identified even where specimens are preserved. Others helonging to this clafts ir/iirh hua; 

 been approximatively determined, are mentioned under the species to which they are pro- 

 bably referrible.
