Blanco’s Pterocarpus diadelphus was referred by F.-Villar to Derris thyrsiflora 
Benth., a species that does not occur in the area from which Blanco secured his 
material. His description, although short, applies unmistakably to the species 
commonly known as Derris sinuata Thw., and diadelphus, being the earliest valid 
specific name is here adopted. The species is common in the region from which 
Blanco secured most of his material, and flowers from April to June.
