Macbride — Notes on certain Leguminosae 3 
tions to which any importance can be attached for the definition 
of genera because of the variability of these characters within ad-. 
jacent groups. Mr. Ricker, Bailey’s Standard Cycl. Hort. vi. 
3066 (1917), has transferred to this genus Pithecolobium arboreum 
(L.) Urban, The fruit of this tree is certainly not that of Samanea; 
it seems to be the same type as that which characterizes Pitheco- 
lobium, 
Pithecolobium mangense (Jacq.), comb. nov. Mimosa mangen- 
sis Jacq. Stirp. Amer. 267 (1763). M. parvifolia Swartz, Fl. Ind. 
Occid. *. 984 (1800). a parvifolium (Swartz) Benth. in Hook. 
nd. Journ. iii. 223 (184 
There is no doubt as to “e identity of the plant of Jacquin and 
that of Swartz and the former’s name has priority.

The first validly published name for this variable species is that 
of Roxburgh. Prain, 1. c., has distinguished varietally the form 
with smaller more numerous leaflets. Merrill, Phil. Journ. Sci. v. 
19 (1910), records only this variety from the Philippines which 
should be known as
