ORMOSIA Jackson 
VORMOSIA CALAVENSIS Azaola ex Blanco Fl. Filip. ed. 2 (1845) 230 
(sp. nov.) ; ed. 8, 2 (1878) 64. 
This species is a valid one, and is widely distributed in the 
Philippines at low and medium altitudes, growing in forested 
areas. Regarding it, Blanco states: “Arboles * * *, que 
he visto en Calauan el Sr. D. Ifigo Gonzalez y Azaola, de quien 
es la descripcién dada.” The species is very generally known 
in the Philippines as bahay.

SOPHORA Linnaeus 
SOPHORA TOMENTOSA Linn.; Blanco Fl. Filip. (1837) 328; ed. 2 (1845) 
229; ed. 3, 2 (1878) 63. 
Sophora heptaphylla Blanco op. cit. 329 (heptaphilla) ; 229; 63, non Linn.= 
SOPHORA TOMENTOSA Linn. 
Blanco’s descriptions both apply to the same form, i. e., Sophora 
tomentosa Linn., a very characteristic species of wide distribu- 
tion in the Philippines along the seashore. Blanco merely at- 
tempted to interpret the two Linnean species as other authors 
had done, on account of the later’s erroneous citation of one of 
Rumphius’ figures as representing Sophora heptaphylla Linn., by 
Linnaeus himself; but Sophora heptaphylla Linn. is no Sophora 
and is Derris heptaphylla (Linrn.) Merr. Interpret. Herb. Amb. 
(1917) 273 (D. sinuata Thwaites, D. diadelpha Merr.) ; see Tri- 
men. Fl. Ceyl. 2 (1894) 94.

October, 1916 (Merrill: Species Blancoanae No. 1001). 
CROTALARIA Linnaeus 
Phaseolus bulai Blanco Fl. Filip. (1837) 572 (sp. nov.) =Quirosia anceps 
Blanco op. cit. ed. 2 (1845) 398 (gen. et sp. nov.) ; ed. 8, 2 (1879) 
367—CROTALARIA VERRUCOSA Linn. 
Blanco’s species was correctly reduced by Fernandez-Villar. 
The species is widely distributed in the settled areas of the Phil- 
ippines at low altitudes, but is more commonly met with near 
the sea. 
Illustrative specimen from Lamao, Bataan Province, Luzon, 
December, 1915 (Merrill: Species Blancoanae No. 937). 
CROTALARIA QUINQUEFOLIA Linn.; Blanco Fl. Filip. (1887) 569; ed. 
2 (1845) 397; ed. 8, 2 (1879) 365, t. 159. 
The Linnean species was correctly interpreted by Blanco. It
