Most of the specimens cited above were originally identified as S. case- 

 olaris Engl. They represent the typical form of S. acida Linn. f. as 

 illustrated by Pagapates Sonn. Voy. Nouv. Guinee (1776) 16, t. 10, 11 

 (erroneously cited by Linnaeus f. as t. 15, 16). Mangium caseolare ru- 

 brum Rumph. Herb. Amb. 3: 112, t. 71* is apparently the same. 



Local names: Hikau-hikauan (Tag.); ilukabban (Ibn.); lukabban (Ibn.); 

 pagatpat (Tag.); palatpat (Tag.); payar (Pang.).
