This Bpecies ia very distinct from J>. sijiuata by reason of its much smaller, more 
nnmeroriBj and more closely sot florets, which are aa nearly as possible HesHile; also 
on account of its very diifererifc pod a wliich are shorter, mach thtnnor, not einaate 
between the seeds and are distinctly wiiiged down both so tores. It is much mora 
closely relftted to the last species from wliioli it can be most easily distingaiahed 
by the ftbaenco of pedieoJs. 
The synonym Amerimutn ohovahnn is excluded because that plant is the same 
as Pongamia ohovata Grah., reduced, witli justice, to Derritt cuneifuHa. And the 
Bynonyui Poiujamla Wall- Uat. &Ui54 is also excluded, at least as a temporary 
measure, bec-auee Mr. Baker, iu another passage, has referred it to Spatholobits 
There are at Calontta authentic examples, named by Dr. Miqael himself, both 
of Agano^ ;^or\\>unda Miq, aud of Dern'rf li^Trothijrsn Miq.; these are apecimana of 
the same species, from Java und Sumatra reapectiFely ; they agree exa.otly with our 
apE^cimeus from the Malay FeniQsala. 
The variation in habit depends on whether the apecies ia growing tn op«n places 
or in dense forest.
