ENUMERATION OF PHILIPPINE LEGUMINOSAE. 135 
Luzon, Province of Batangas, For. Bur. 7782 Curran & Merritt: Province of 
Rizal, Bur. Sci. 2169 Ramos. 
Native names: Mungos (widely used), balatong, ex Blanco. 
The form here referred to Phaseolus radiatus Linn. is only cultivated in the 
Philippines, and is quite universally known as mungos. This erect form is the 
one described by Linneus as Phaseolus radiatus, and is frequently identified as 
Phaseolus mungo Linn. I have seen no Philippine material that I consider 
referable to the true Phaseolus mungo Linn. 
India to China and Malaya; widely cultivated and variable. 
7. Phaseolus sublobatus Roxb. Hort. Beng. (1814) 54, Fl. Ind. 3 (1832) 288.

India to Malaya. 
DOUBTFUL AND EXCLUDED SPECIES. 
PHASEOLUS VULGARIS Linn.; F.-Vill. Nov. App. (1880) 64. A number of 
forms of this are cultivated by Chinese gardeners for the Manila market, probably 
entirely grown from imported seeds. 
PHASEOLUS RICCIARDIANUS Ten.; Usteri Beitr. Ken. Philip. Veg. (1905) 116, 
reported from Negros by Usteri, but I have seen no Philippine material. 
A full series of the various cultivated species of this genus, and comparison 
of the same with extra-Philippine material is essential to a clear exposition of 
them.
