not compressed, brown, smooth, shining, 1.8 to 2.5 cm long, 
persistent for a considerable period after the pod dehisces by 
the elongated, slender, more or less curved funiculus, the latter 
about 1 cm in length.

86, November 18, 1916, with mature fruits, Levine 1976, April 
26, 1918, from the same tree, with immature buds and fully 
mature seeds; along streams, altitude about 300 meters. 
This species, distributed as an Albizzia, like its congener, 
Pithecolobium balansae Oliv., and apparently P. attopenense 
Pierre (of which the fruits are unknown), is anomalous in Pi- 
thecolobium in its straight, turgid, not at all twisted or curved 
pods, and is equally anomalous in Albizzia. It is suspected that 
it may prove to represent a distinct generic type.

Kwangtung Province, Kochow region, Sai Ngon, To Kang 
P’eng 2705, February 18, 1919, a single tree, said to have been 
grown from seeds secured in Burma. It is locally known as 
min ke. 
The specimen, which presents a mature pod and seeds, agrees 
closely with Kurz’s description, the species having been based 
on material originating near the Burmese border of Siam.

To Kang P’eng 266b, March 3, 1919, in forests. 
The pods, description from Miss Moninger’s Hainan specimen, 
contain from 1 to 4 seeds, and when more than 1-seeded are 
somewhat torulose. They are 2 to 4 cm long and 1 to 1.5 cm 
wide, much thickened, glabrous, brown when dry, the valves 
thickened, somewhat woody, irregularly twisted after dehiscence. 
Seeds red, dangling from the pod after dehiscence, not arillate, 
15 to 18 mm long. When but 1-seeded the pods are usually con-
