Widely distributed in the Philippines, especially at low altitudes; Ceylon and 
India to southern China and Formosa, southward through Malaya to New Guinea 
and the Bismarck Archipelago. 
Desmodium elegans (Lour.) Benth., is said by Hemsley“ to extend from 
southern China to Cochin-China, Java, and the Philippines. I have, however, 
seen no Philippine specimens that I consider as referable to this species, and the 
extension of range of D. elegans to the Archipelago may have been based on an 
erroneously identified specimen of D. pulchellwm.

~» This endemic ‘species has not been rediscovered since Cuming’s time. The 
locality is taken from Cuming’s own list at Kew. It is manifestly allied to 
D. umbellatum, but at the same time quite distinct from that species.
