LUNASIA AMARA Blanco Fl. Filip. (1837) 783. 



This species is common in forests and of very wide distribution in the 

 Philippines. It is exceedingly variable in its vegetative characters, but 

 seems to be decidedly constant in floral and fruit characters. The normal 

 form has nearly entire leaves, usually distinctly, often prominently, acumi- 

 nate. In his original description Blanco describes the leaves as "serpen- 

 teadas," which is best translated as undulate, and many of our specimens 

 show this character. The extreme repand form, however, is so distinct, 

 that were no intergrades present most botanists would not hesitate to 

 describe it as new. I had even written up a diagnosis of the form as a 

 new species, but distinct intergrades being present, and no characters other 

 than vegetative ones being detected by which to distinguish the forms, I 

 have considered it best to indicate the repand-leaved type as a variety.
