I can see no valid reason why Lamarck’s specific name should not be adopted, 
as it is much the earliest one for the species. Bentham 10 states that it is evident 
from the description and citation that Lamarck’s species is referable to Albiszia 
stipulata Boiv., and not to A. odoratissima Benth. Lamarck’s specimens were 
from Pondichery, and he also refers to Rheede, Hort. Malabar. 6: 9, tab. 5, as 
representing the species. The reference to Albiszia marginata Ham. Wall. Cat. 
no. 5243, in “Index Kewensis,” does not constitute a valid transfer. Most of 
the specimens cited above have been distributed as Albiszia julibrissin Durazz., 
but some of the material recently collected shows the very large stipules charac- 
teristic of Albiszia marginata, hence the specimens are here referred to the latter.
