It is not absolutely certain that P. fasciculatum Benth. is the same as P. ellipticum 

 Hassk., though it is probable that the two are one species. If this be so, however, 

 it is preferable, even then, to use Hasskarl's name because Bentham's description 

 does not so well accord with the characters of the plant and because Hasskarl's name 

 has the advantage of preserving the oldest specific epithet. 



By a lapsus calami the Index Kewensis gives Inga elliptica Bl. as the name, and 

 Pithecolobium ellipticum Hassk. as a synonym for this species ; the reverse is the 

 actual state of affairs. 



Mr. Kurz identifies with this a species issued from Buitenzorg as Pithecolo- 

 bium macrophyllum Teysm. & Binnend., of which Kurz's notice appears to be 

 the earliest mention. The identification proposed cannot, however, be sustained ; 

 though the leaves of P. macrophyllum resemble those of P. fasciculatum, the pods 

 are altogether different and are deeply lobed as in P. lobatum. As Mr. Kurz's 

 mention dates from 1876 and as an American P. macrophyllum Spruce, was published 

 in 1875, it is necessary to rename Teysmann's plant P. Teysmanni. 



10. Pithecolobium lobatdm Benth. 



Add to synonyms of F. B. I.: — Inga Jiringa Jack, Mai. Miscell.

 pore ; Kunstler ! Hullett ! 



It is not quite clear that Mimosa Kaeringa Roxb. and M. Djiringa Roxb. are the 

 same. Roxburgh describes the former as having seeds enveloped in an edible pulp ; 

 Jack says the latter has seeds without arillus ; Koorders and Valeton say the 

 seeds themselves are eaten. 



10/2. Pithecolobium glome riflorum Kurz, For. Flor. Brit. Burnt. 

 i. 430. Albizzia glomeriflora Kurz ex Buk. in Flor. Brit. Ind. ii. 300. 



Being a Pithecolobium and not an Albizzia this species must be transferred 

 to the present position.

 lar, pod not lobed.
