The Q.oUta.iy Malayan apecimBu at Oalciiif^ that appcera referable to this species 
ia one iBBned by Dr. WalHch aa S<ipindacea sp. (Gait. n. 8032) ; thiB specimen is not 
deult with in the Flora of Briiish India. So far as it goes it agrees bettor with 
Dr. Wallich's Martaban specimens of 3. acuminatus (Cat. n. 5443} than it doea with 
any Malayan specisa of S2}atkolobu9t to which gcnna it manifoatly belonga j the 
epeoimen ie, howcTerj only in very yotiag flower. No one has met with ifc in Penang 
aincB Dr, Wallich coU&cted it. 
Mr. Bakflr'a description of 3. ncuminaim doea not apply to Dr, Wollich'a Butea 
aeuminaia in no far aa the lengtha of the panicles aTid of the pedicels are conceTned. 
His description woald apply to Wall. CuL 5907 (Pongamia rosea Grah.) which Mr. 
Baker also iiicladea here ; Fonga^nm rosea certainly is a Spaiholobua but ia a species 
very distitict from S. acumiTiatws. There are not at Calcutta examples of Wall. Cat, 
690S or Wall. Cat. dOai ; both are here excluded becanae Mr. Baker expresaea a 
doubt regrtrding both. The first may indeed prov^e to be the aame as Spnthotohua 
ripariui Prain ; of the aeoood nothing can he said becanse, in the Mora of British 
India, it is referretl not only to S, acwninalus, bat also to Dei'rts thyrsifiora. 
The Andamans specimens are ahsolutoly identical with Wallich'a original 
specimena {Cat, 5443 J from Martaban.

A very distinct species apparently neareat to 8. UttoraUs HasBk, from which it 
differs in having the lower lip of odyi toothed and the leaves uniformly pnberuloua 
beneath. The ahortaoBa of its petioluka, which are equalled and often exceeded in 
length by the anhulate atipela, rendflrs the apecies oaaily distinguishable.
