This species, as interpreted by most authors, is exceedingly variable, and 
includes a number of forms; what I take to be the typical form, that is, the 
Ceylon plant, for the type of the species was from that island, seems to extend 
from India and Ceylon to southern China, more or less throughout Malaya, to 
northern Australia; some authors give its range as the tropics of the world.

This is undoubtedly the form credited to the Philippines by Vidal as 
Tephrosia purpurea Pers. It seems, however, to be distinct from that species, 
and is well characterized by its short, rather dense racemes, usually densely 
arranged pods, and more numerous seeds. The type of J'ephrosia luzoniensis Vog., 
in the Berlin Herbarium, has been examined by me and found to agree with the 
specimens above cited. The identification of 7’. dichotoma Desy. is based on the 
description, which applies closely, except that the leaflets are described as being 
4-jugate, while in the material before me they vary from 5- to 10-jugate.
