Ceylon to Java, Ceram, Amboina, and ( ?) northern Australia. 
From an examination of the available Philippine and the scanty extra-Phil- 
ippine material available here, I am inclined to consider this form specifically 
distinct from C. bijuga Spanoghe, its leaves apparently always being 1-jugate, 
while in the latter species they are 2-jugate. The specimens cited above are a 
very close match for t. 63 of Rumphius’s “Herbarium Amboinense,” the first 
figure cited by Linnaeus in establishing the species. The typical and allied 
forms have been fully discussed by Prain, l. c.

Luzon, Province of Cagayan, Warburg 12421, 12086 in Herb. Berol. 
Endemic. 
Characterized by its 1-jugate, comparatively small leaflets. 
6. Cynometra luzoniensis Merr. in Philip. Journ. Sci. 4 (1909) Bot. 266. 
Luzon, Province of Tayabas, Merrill 2128. 
Characterized by its simple leaves, the solitary leaflet sharply acuminate at 
the apex, the base broad, rounded and subcordate.

Var. oblongata var. nov. 
Differt a typo foliis longioribus, oblongo-lanceolatis ad oblongo-ellip- 
ticis, sensim acuminatis, usque ad 14 cm longis. 
The leaves are subcoriaceous, not pale beneath as is usually the case 
with C. simplicifolia, shining on both surfaces, gradually narrowed above 
to the apex, not blunt-acuminate, the base acute. The fruits are about 
3 cm long and 2.2 cm wide, compressed, wrinkled when dry. Flowers 
unknown. 
Luzon, Province of Rizal, For. Bur. 2918 Ahern’s collector, Bur. Sci. 3349,

The specimens are all in fruit, and it seems probable that when flowers are 
collected that it will be found to be specifically distinct from C. simplicifolia 
Harms.
