brownish. The species is occasionally found in cultivation in 
the Philippines to-day, but is not common. 
CAJANUS de Candolle 
Cytisus cajan Linn.; Blanco Fl. Filip. (1837) 597=Cajanus bicolor DC.; 
Blanco op. cit. ed. 2 (1845) 416; ed. 83, 2 (1879) 396, t. 167=CAJANUS 
CAJAN (Linn.) Millsp. (C. indicus Spreng.). 
This species is widely distributed in the Philippines in cul- 
tivation and semi-naturalized. It is probably of prehistoric in- 
troduction, judging from its native names caguios, callos, gablos, 
cadios, cardis, tabios, etc. 
Illustrative specimen from Antipolo, Rizal Province, Luzon, 
January, 1914 (Merrill: Species Blancoanae No. 256). 
CANTHAROSPERMUM Wight & Arnott 
Cytisus volubilis Blanco Fl. Filip. (1837) 599 (sp. nov.) =Cajanus volubilis 
Blanco op. cit. ed. 2 (1845) 417 (comb. nov.); ed. 3, 2 (1879) 398= 
CANTHAROSPERMUM VOLUBILE (Blanco) Merr. in Philip. Journ. 
Sci. 5 (1910) Bot. 127. 
This species was reduced by Fernandez-Villar to Atyloaia 
mollis Benth., but Prain, Journ. As. Soc. Beng. 662 (1897) 46 
has called attention to the fact that Atylosia mollis Benth. is 
a mixture of two different species and that the name mollis, 
derived from Collaea mollis Grah., is applicable to a Himalayan 
plant. Atylosia crassa, the name Prain adopts for the present 
species, is based on Dolichos crassus Grah., a nomen nudum that 
dates from 1831 or 1832. Under our rules, which state that 
nomina nuda have no standing, Blanco’s specific name is ap- 
parently the oldest valid one for the species, whether considered — 
under Cantharospermum or under Atylosia. The species is of : 
local occurrence at low and medium altitudes in Luzon, in 
thickets in the settled areas. 
Illustrative specimen from Antipolo, Rizal Province, Luzon, 
November, 1914 (Merrill: Species Blancoanae No. 142). 
FLEMINGIA Roxburgh 
FLEMINGIA STROBILIFERA R. Br.; Llanos Frag. Pl. Filip. (1851) 82; 
F.-Villar & Naves in Blanco FI. Filip. ed. 3, 47 (1880) 63. 
This species was correctly interpreted by Llanos. It is com- 
mon and widely distributed in the Philippines, a characteristic 
plant of the settled areas at low and medium altitudes. In the 
discussion following Hedysarum pulchellum Linn.; Blanco FI. 
Filip. (1837) 581—Dicerma pulchellum DC., Blanco op. cit. ed.
