A oommon and widely distributed Bpeciea in the Philippines, for which the 



earliest specific name is here adopted. Cavanillea' Bauhinia .' latiailiqua is a 

 mixture, the leaves being those of a true Bauhinia, but the fruit manifestly a 

 Mezoneurum. Jt was based on material collected in the Philippines l»y N'ee, the 

 fruit, at least, coming from the town of Cavinti in Ligima Province, Luzon. As 

 the specific name was taken from fruit characters, and as the fruit as figured and 

 described is manifestly Mezoneurum, I consider that Bauhinia .' latiailiqua is 

 typified by the fruit, and that it should be considered as Mezoneurum. Local 

 names, T., Catuut pusa, Qamui cabag, Cubit cabag, Bagnit, Bapnit; V.. Tugabang, 

 Ugabang, Sampinit; in Basilan Bokit, Bampinit. 

 Timor, and according to Baker, in Tenasserim.
