Widely distributed in the Philippines at low altitudes; throughout the Tropics. 
The Philippine specimens appear to be nearer to the variety mollis ( Benth.)

fruit, have the pods appressed-strigose, while in the typical form they are described 
as glabrous. 
70. ERYTHRINA Linn.

in Cagayan as voc-voc and bag-bac.

planted inland. India to southern China, Malaya, and Polynesia. 
Erythrina indica Lam., includes, in part, #. picta Linn., the latter being much 
the earlier name. Hrythrina picta Linn. was based in part on botanical material 
in Linneus’ hands, and in part on Gelala alba Rumph. Herb. Amboin, 2: 234,
