This species is represented in our herbarium from several different localities, 

 but all of our material is with flowers only. It so far has been found in the Phil- 

 ippines only in thickets and forests bordering rivers. Dr. Prain who has examined 

 specimens states that they closely match the Malayan Derris elliptica, but that 

 mature fruits are necessary to definitely determine whether the Philippine plant 

 is a Derris or a Millettia.
