184 SPECIES BLANCOANAE 
Cytisus quinquepetalus Blanco Fl. Filip. (1837) 598 (sp. nov.) =Cajanus 
quinquepetalus Blanco op. cit. ed. 2 (1845) 417 (nom. nov.); ed. 3, 2 
(1879) 397=DESMODIUM QUINQUEPETALUM (Blanco) Merr. in 
Govt. Lab. Publ. (Philip.) 35 (1906) 20 (D. cephalotes F.-Vill., non 
Waill.). 
This endemic species is of rather wide distribution in Luzon, 
especially in those provinces having a protracted dry season. 
Glycine cajanoides Walp. is a synonym. 
Illustrative specimen from Angat, Bulacan Province, Luzon, 
September, 1913 (Merrill: Species Blancoanae No. 571). 
Hedysarum pulchellum Linn.; Blanco Fl. Filip. (1887) 581—=Dicerma 
pulcheilum DC.; Blanco op. cit. ed. 2 (1845) 407; ed. 8, 2 (1879) 383= 
DESMODIUM PULCHELLUM (Linn.) Benth. 
This species is common and widely distributed in the Phil- 
ippines in the settled areas; certainly introduced and of pre- 
historic introduction. Blanco’s discussion, following the descrip- 
tion of the species, applies to Flemingia strobilifera R. Br., not 
to Desmodium pulchellum Benth. 
Illustrative specimen from Antipolo, Rizal Province, Luzon, 
January, 1914 (Merrill: Species Blancoanae No. 609). 
LOUREA Necker 
Hedysarum vespertilionis Linn.; Blanco Fl. Filip. (1837) 581; ed. 2 (1845) 
407; ed. 3, 2 (1879) 382, t. 201=LOUREA VESPERTILIONIS (Linn.) 
Desv. 
The Linnean species was correctly interpreted by Blanco. He 
gives a very brief description, stating that he had seen only 
a single, old specimen in cultivation in Manila. The species has 
no claim for consideration as a Philippine one, although, very 
rarely, it is still to be found in cultivation in Manila gardens. 
DALBERGIA Linnaeus f. 
Amerimnon mimosella Blanco Fl. Filip. (1837) 563 (sp. nov.) ; ed. 2 (1845) 
393; ed. 3, 2. (1879) 858=DALBERGIA. MIMOSELLA Prain (D. mina- 
hassae Koord.). 
Fernandez-Villar reduced Blanco’s species to Dalbergia lan- 
ceolaria Linn. f., a species that does not extend to the Phil- 
ippines, and one to which Blanco’s description does not con- 
form. Blanco’s specimens were from Tala, Bulacan Province, 
Luzon, a locality a few miles north of Manila. His discription 
applies very closely to Dalbergia minahassae Koord., a species 
of wide distribution in the Philippines, except in one particular. 
The leaves (leaflets) are described as “ovales o lineares;” in 
Blanco’s species as I interpret it, the leaflets are somewhat oval, 
but never linear. The identity of Amerimnon mimosella Blanco
