This species is common and widely distributed in Luzon at 
low altitudes and is universally known as cupang. The synonymy 
is adjusted below:

Gleditsia javanica Lam. seems to have been entirely overlooked by 
modern botanists, but the form Lamarck described is clearly the species 
commonly known as Parkia roxburghii G. Don, which is widely distributed 
in the Malayan region and the Philippines. There is no evidence in 
Lamarck’s original description that he had specimens; he based the species 
on pre-Linnean references in Commelin, Ray, and Plukenet. The local 
name cadawang, cited by him, leaves no doubt as to the form intended, as 
this is one of the names in common use in Java for the species as here 
interpreted. The species is typified by Commelin’s figure and description, 
Rar. Pl. Hort. Med. Amstel. 2 (1697) 207, t. 106. The figure is poor, and 
presents only a leafy branch and seeds; it is ineorrectly drawn as to the 
number of pinnae.

Blanco’s species was reduced by Fernandez-Villar to Cynome- 
tra ramiflora Linn. var. mimosoides Baker, a form which occurs 
in the Philippines, but so far as known only in the southern 
part of the Archipelago, Panay and Mindanao. Blanco’s speci- 
mens were from Batangas Province, Luzon. Cynometra inaequi- 
folia A. Gray, based on specimens from Laguna Province, 
Luzon, is closely allied to C. bijuga Spanoghe; see Merrill in 
Philip. Journ. Sci. 5 (1910) Bot. 36. 
Illustrative specimens from Rizal Province, Luzon, March, 
June, 1915, there known as dila-dila (dila=tongue) (Merrill: 
Species Blancoanae Nos. 853, 974). .
