Forests, not common, Hetntg* 
Vernac. Ban^jamb, 
A large shrub or small tree ; cut for firewood. 
Distrib.— Assam ^ Chittagong j Pegu; Tenasserim. 
Heinig includes this in his list, but has not sent any specimens. The tree 
occurs in E. Bengal and there is no reason why it should not extend naturally 
into the northern forests. At the same time it may belong to the category in 
which Bouea hurmanica, Mgle Marmelos^ Cassia Fistula, Diospyros Embryopteris 
ought perhaps to be placed, and may indicate the remains of clearings that at 
one time existed but that have been re-invaded by forest,

much used ; affords an indifferent tan. 
Distrib. — S.-E. Asia generally ; N. Australia : not a coast species. 
Mr. Heinig reports a third species of Barringtonia, B. speciosaj Forst., as 
associated with B. racemosa. The species may be distinguished from the two 
preceding ones by its entire leaf-margins— in B. racemosa and B. acutangula 
the leaf-margins are crenate-denticulate, and by its much larger showy white 
flowers and very large quadrangular or nearly ovoid fruit, No specimens of
