I can see no reason for distinguishing the Philippine form 
described by Llanos as Flemingia blancoana from the much 
older F’. lineata (Linn.) Roxb. The species is of very local 
occurrence in the Philippines, being definitely known from but 
few localities in Luzon. Llanos’s specimens were from Calum- 
pit, Bulacan Province, Luzon.

There is apparently no reason for considering any of the above 
forms characterized by Blanco as specifically distinct from 
Phaseolus lunatus Linn., which, as it occurs in the Philippines, 
presents considerable variation. It is widely distributed in cul- 
tivation and semi-naturalized; certainly introduced. It is 
usually known as patani.

In common with very many other authors Blanco misinter- 
preted the Linnean Phaseolus mungo, and considered under that
