A common and widely' distributed species in the Piiilippines, for wliicli the 

 earliest specific name is here adopted. Cavanilles' Bauhinia f latisiliqua is a 

 mixture, the knaves being those of a tiue Bauhinia, but the fruit manifestly a 

 Mesoneurum. It was based on material collected in the Philippines by Nee, the 

 fruit, at least, coming from the town of Cavinti in Laguna Province, Luzon. As 

 the specific name was taken from fruit characters, and as the fruit as figured and 

 described is manifestly Mezoneurum, 1 consider that Bauhinia ? latisiliqua is 

 typified by the fruit, and that it should be considered as Mezoneurum. Local 

 names, T., Gamut pusa, Gamut cabag, Gabit cabag, Sagnit, Sapnit; V., Tugabang, 

 Vgabang. ^ampinit ; in Basilan iiolcit, Sampinit.
