152. Cynometea bijuga, Spanogh. — Not unfrequent in the beach- 

 and coral-reef -forests of Kamorta and Katchall. 



153. Cyitometba bamifloba, L. — Nicobars (Novara 145), probably 

 only cultivated. 



154. Entada scandens, Btb. (the typical form with retuse leaflets). 

 Frequent in the forests, especially the beach-forests, of Kamorta ; Nan- 

 kowry (Novara 228 ; Jelinek — otoaka, inc.). 



155. Adenantheba payonltsa, L. — Great Nicobar (Novara 227 ; 

 Jelinek 278). 



N. B. Mimosa and Acacia are given as Nicobarese plants in 

 Diedrichsen's list. 



156. Albizzia stipttlata, Boiv. — Common in the tropical forests 

 of Kamorta. 



157. Albizzia littoealis, T. et B. — Nankowry (Novara 243 ; Jeli- 

 nek 134) ; Great Nicober (Novara 244 ; Jelinek 239 — unjiha, inc.). 



158. Albizzia bubai/cna {Pithecolobmm bubalinum, Bth. ; Pi- 

 theco. opposition, Miq. Suppl. Fl. Sum. 283). — Not unfrequent in the tro- 

 pical forests of Kamorta j Nankowry (Novara 242 ; Jelinek 133 — kawas, 

 inc.). 



N. B. Pithecolobimn confertum, Bth., = Albizzia splendens, Miq. 

 Suppl. Fl. Sum. 280. Bentham is correct in his identification of Pithec. 

 acutangulum, Miq., with P. angulatum, Bth. Mastersia cleistocarpa, 

 Bak. in Hf . Ind. Fl. II. 195, = M. Assamica, Bth. in Linn. Trans, xxv. 300. 

 t. 34. 



159. Albizzia cltpeabia (Pithecolobium clypearia, Bth.). — Only 

 once met with in the coral-reef -forests of the eastern coast of Katchall. 



160. Albizzia easciculata (Pithecolobium fascicwlatwn, Bth.), 

 the form called Pithec. macrophyllum, T. et B. — Here and there in the 

 tropical forests of Kamorta. 



N. B. I follow v. Mueller and Scheffer in throwing together Albiz- 

 zia and Pithecolobium, the differences pointed out by Bentham appearing 

 to me not to be of generic value.
