All the specimens cited above are from cultivated plants, and this form is 
unknown in the wild state in the Philippines. It is characterized by its very 
large pods, which are from 25 to 30 em long, and about 5 em wide. 
I am not at all sure that the specimens above cited represent true Canavalia 
gladiata (Jaeq.) DC., as I have not seen the original deseription of the species; 
it is reduced by most authors to Canavalia lineata (Linn.) DC. 
Tropies of the world; certainly not a native of the Philippines,

The most generally used specific name is here retained for this well-known 
species, although it is by no means the oldest. Following the Vienna rules, 
strictly, a new combination is necessary, whichever generic name is used. The 
oldest generic name is Cajan Adans. (1763), which was corrected by DeCandolle 
(1813) to Cajanus, and the case is not covered by the list of nomina conservanda 
of the Vienna Botanical Congress, although following strict priority, Cajan 
would be the correct generic name; both specific names proposed by DeCandolle 
are older than the one proposed by Sprengel, under which the species is generally
