Along streams in open lands at low altitudes; Assam and Bengal to Indo- 
China, the Malay Peninsula and Archipelago. 
The reduction of Erythrina ovalifolia Roxb. to E. fu.sca Lour., the latter much 
the earlier, has not previously been suggested by any author known to me; I 
fail to find any constant characters for distinguishing the two.

Indo-Ghina to the Malay Peninsula and Archipelago. 
What I consider to be the oldest valid name is here adopted for this species. 
It is the species usually known as Erythrina lithosperma Blume, but the original 
E. lithosperma Blume Cat. (1823) 92, nomen nudum, and later very fully 
described by Hasskarl 53 is Erythrina indica Lam., as noted by Koorders & Vale- 
ton, 54 while the Erythrina lithosperma Miq. FI. Ind. Bat. 1 1 (1855) 209, is not 
at all Blume’s species but is the form here considered as E. subumbrans. Prain 55 
proposes to retain the species under the name of E. lithosperma, but with 
Miquel as its author instead of Blume, but to avoid confusion I consider it 
advisable to abandon the name altogether. Both the spiny form (var. armata 
Miq., and the spineless one (var. inermis Miq.) are represented in the material 
cited above.
