If we exclude the 53 species definitely known to have been introduced 
into the Philippines, considering the leguminous flora of the Philippines 
as comprising only the 232 indigenous, or presumably indigenous species, 
then the percentage of endemism for the family is slightly less than 36 
per cent. . 
Tabulation of the Indo-Malayan genera and species has been omitted, 
because of the great number of genera and species involved. The sum- 
mary is as follows: India, including the Malay Peninsula,? 147 genera 
and 1058 species; Malay Peninsula,* 73 genera and 291 species; Malay 
Archipelago,* 105 genera and 554 species; China,® 89 genera and 469 
species; Formosa,® 56 genera and 136 species; Philippines, 90 genera 
and 285 species. 
From an economic standpoint this family takes high rank in the 
Philippines. With the exception of the Dipterocarpaceae, no family 
compares with the Leguminosae in the quantity and value of its timber 
trees. All grades of timber are produced by various species of the 
family, from the very soft and low grade timber known as cupang, from 
Parkia timoriana (DC.) Merr., to the highest grade building and fur- 
niture woods found in the Archipelago. Among the more valuable
