 distinct, glabrous, '2 in. long. Flowers in small 5-8-fld. heads '3 in. 

 across, on puberulous very slender pedicels '4<~'6 in. long, fascicled in 

 the axils of small bracts and subumbellate at the tips of puberulous

Jack gives the Malay name of this as " Bua Karbau" in Sumatra; Forbes 

 does not give any native name. In Malacca the name given by Griffith is " Ingria" 

 that noted by Goodenough is " Gerdas Padi." The fleshy pod is eaten, ia spite of 

 its offensive odour . '
