9. Cj:salpinia microphylla Ham. in Wall. Gat. 5826. C. cin- 

 clidocarpa Bak. in Flor, Brit. Ind. ii. 256. 



The species described as C. cinclidocarpa in the Flora of British India differs 

 from the plant described by Dr. Miquel in having a glabrous calyx. There is no 

 specimen of genuine C. cinclidocarpa at Calcutta for comparison with the Assam 

 plant ; but even if the two should prove to be identical, there is no reason why 

 Dr. Buchanan-Hamilton's much older name should give place to Dr. MiqueFs more 

 recent one. 



The species is also very common in Sikkim and Western Bhutan. 



10. C^SALPINIA TORTUOSA Roxb. 



Add to localities of F. B. I. : — Penang ; Rengra Bnkit, 700 feet, 



Curtis ! 



Mr. Kurz proposes to reduce to this si)ecies, as a variety (var. latifolia), 

 Dr. Miquel's 0. acanthobotrya from Sumatra ; an examination of an authentic 

 specimen of Dr. Miquel's plant (Diepenhorst 2240, from Sumatra) leads the writer to 

 believe that it is much better to treat the two as distinct species. 



97. PELTOPHORUM Vog. 



There are, in Herb. Calcutta, specimens of a very distinct species of this genus 

 from Sumatra with flowers white, tinged with pink ;* the generic diagnosis has 

 therefore to be altered slightly in order to admit of its inclusion.

The locality of Dr. Wallich's specimens is given as Tenasserim in the F. B. I. ; the 

 species has not, however, been as yet collected farther south than Martaban. This most 

 certainly is not M. glabrum Desf. for it has always opposite leaflets whereas those of 

 M. glabrum are alternate ; also it has pods with few remote seeds in place of having 

 them numerous and close together as in M. glabrum. The leaflets of this species are 

 more remote and fewer in number, they are also more broadly ovate, with obtuse 



• 



* The following diagnosis of this species may be given : — 



Peltophorum grande Prain ; flowering pedicels slightly exceeding the calyx, 

 petals white with flush of pink. 



Sumatra ; on hills near Napal Litjin, R. Rawas, at 2500 feet, Forbes 3163 ! 



A very large tree, stem 7 feet in circumference at 6 feet from ground, young 

 branches rusty-puberulous. Leaves distinctly petioled, 6 in. to 1 foot long ; pinnae 

 opposite 14-16, 3-6 in. long ; leaflets 20-24, somewhat remote, ligulate, sessile, 

 rounded, slightly unequal-sided, base cuneate, rigidly subcoriaceous, faintly adpressed- 

 puberulous below. Racemes simple, rusty-puberulous as are the pedicels '3 in. long, 

 and the calyx ; bracts very sinuate caducous. Calyx '2 in. deep. Pod not seen. 



A very distinct species.
