Dalbergia parviflora Roxb. [(1814) 98]; (1832) 225; Miq. (1855) 132; Benth. (1860) 33; Prain (1897a) 121; (1904) 34,pl. 8; Ridl. (1922) 589;Sunarno & H.Ohashi (1997) 211. — Type: Roxburgh s.n. (BR BR511913 ,? Moluccas?) [ Lacca lignum Rumph. (1750) 17, t. 13] See Merr. (1917) 270.

Dalbergia zollingeriana Miq. (1855) 130. — Dalbergia cumingii Benth. var. zollingeriana (Miq.) Benth.(1860) 32. — Drepanocarpus cumingii (Benth.) Kurz (1876) 282. — Type: Zollinger 3041 (holo BM), Sumatra.

Dalbergia forbesii Prain (1901) 61; (1904) 38, pl. 12. — Type: Forbes 3216 (K, BM, L L0281326 ), Sumatra.

Distribution — Thailand; Malesia: Sumatra, Peninsular Malaysia, Borneo.

Habitat & Ecology — Primary and secondary forest, dry hill forest, along rivers and sea shores, fresh water swamp. Soil: rich yellow soils, clay, loam and alluvial soils. Altitude up to 900 m. Flowering: February to June, October, November; fruiting: January, April to November.

Notes — In more open vegetation often a shrub, in denser vegetation when enough support is available it develops into a large liana. In the pods some kind of ‘seed chamber’ seems to be present. In L there is one collection from Java, however, this may be a mislaid part of the Teysmann collection of Sumatra. Dalbergia zollingeriana was mentioned by Fernandez-Villar (in Naves & Fernandez-Villar 1880) for the Philippines. Dalbergia parviflora , of which D. zollingeriana is a synonym, does not occur in the Philippines. The specimen mentioned by Fernandez-Villar probably belongs to D. cumingiana .

Spines were observed in the specimens FMS 29607; SAN 22932, 128781, Van Balgooy 7174.
