ippine material as C. stenophylla, which Bentham ® considered to be distinct from 
©. linifolia Linn. f., distinguished from the latter by its narrow leaves, slightly 
smaller flowers, and broader upper calyx-lobes. Baker, working with more 
abundant material, reduced C. stenophylla to C. linifolia Linn. f., and I have 
followed him in this matter. I consider C. formosana Matsum. to be un- 
questionably identical with C. stenophylla Vog., and here reduce it with the latter 
to C. linifolia Linn. f.

Bengal to Ava, Tenasserim, and Java; not reported from southern China or 
from the Malay Peninsula. 
This form has been identified at Kew both as Crotalaria humifusa Grah. 
(Merrill 4266), and as C. prostrata Roxb. (Elmer 5826, Loher 2399, Vidal 2645), 
but there seems to be a single species represented, which, from the original 
descriptions, agrees most closely with C. acicularis Ham. The presence of 
acicular stipules on the Philippine material at once excludes the possibility of it 
being referable to C. prostrata Roxb., which is described as being without 
stipules; the sessile pods, containing about 15 seeds, apparently would place the 
specimens with C. acicularis, rather than with C. humifusa, as the latter species 
is said to have a short-stalked pod containing but 6 to 8 seeds,

Both the typical form and the var. major are represented in the material cited 
above under this species; the latter apparently intergrades, judging from the 
material at present available for comparison. 
Crotalaria chinensis Linn. has been reported from the Philippines by Bentham,”
