If we exclude the 53 species definitely known to liavc been introduced 

 «nto the Philippines, considering the leguminous flora of the Philippines 

 as comprising only the 232 indigenous, or presumably indigenous species, 

 then the percentage of endemism for the family is slightly less than 36 

 per cent. 



Tabulation of tlie Indo-Malayan genera and species has been omitted, 

 because of the great number of genera and species involved. The sum- 

 mary is as follows: India, including the Malay Peninsula,- 147 genera 

 and 1058 species; Malay Peninsula,^ 73 genera and 291 species; Malay 

 Archipelago,* 105 genera and 554 species; China,^ 89 genera and 469 

 species; Formosa," 56 genera and 136 species; Philippines, 90 genera 

 and 285 species. 



From an economic standpoint this family takes high rank in tlie 

 Philippines. With the exception of the Dipterocarpaceae, no family 

 compares with the Legiiminosae in the quantity and value of its timber 

 trees. All grades of timber are produced by various species of the 

 family, from the very soft and low grade timber known as cupang, from 

 Parhia timoriana (DC.) Merr., to the highest grade building and fur- 

 niture woods found, in the Archipelago. Among the more valuable
