17. Ormosia parvi folia Baker in Hook. Jil. Flor. Brit. Ind. ii. 2.58 

 (1878); Train, Journ. As. Soc. Beng. Ixvi. 2. 149 and 469 (1897).

Malay Archipelago; Borneo, Haviland 57! Bangka, Teysmann 

 3405 ! Malayan Peninsula ; Singapore, Ridley 5929 ! 8096 ! Pahang, 

 Ridley 1267 ! 5013 ! Malacca, Griffith ! Maingay ! Goodenough ! 



Besides being a very well characterised species this is much more widely- 

 distributed than most of the Ormosia s. An authentic specimen of Miquel's 

 Macrotropis ? bancana in Herb. Calcutta shows that it is the same thing as Baker's 

 Ormosia parvifolia. If the rule that the oldest specific epithet must under all 

 circumstances be conserved is to be rigidly applied, then Mr. Baker's name must be 

 abandoned in favour of the name Ormosia bancana,

18. Ormosia polita Prain. O. nitida Prain, Journ. As. Soc. Beng.

Malayan Peninsula ; Perak, Kunstler I 



When a description was given of this very distinct species the fact was over- 

 looked that there is already an Ormosia nitida Vogel, from Brazil ; the name must 

 therefore be replaced by another. This particalar species is unlike the other 

 Chgenolobia is having perfectly glabrous dark-green shining leaves, and it moreover 

 resembles the Malayan, as opposed to the Indo-Chinese Layise in having small pods. 

 It also differs from the other Chaenolobia in having well developed petiolules. Its 

 agreement with Chxnolobium lies in the fact that the leaf rachis is not prolonged 

 beyond the last pair of leaflets which are attached along with the terminal leaflet.

Malayan Archipelago; Sumatra, Diepenhorst 2547 ! 

 An authentic specimen of Miquel's plant is preserved in the Calcutta Herbarium. 



20. Ormosia decemjuga Prain, Journ. As. Soc. Beng. Ixvi. 2. 468 

 (1897). Chaenolobium decemjugum Miq. Flor. Ind. Bat. Suppl. 302

 part, not of Jacks. 



Malayan Archipelago ; Sumatra, Teysmann 3715 ! 



An authentic specimen of Miquel's plant is in Herb. Calcutta. This specimen 

 shows, in my opinion, that Kurz was not justified in supposing that this is the same 

 as Chenolobium septemjugum and that further he was not justified in believing that 

 either this or 0. septemjugum is the same as Ormosia microsperma which he supposed 

 to be the same thing as O. coarctata Jacks., a Guiana species.
