ENUMERATION OF PHILIPPINE LEGUiMINOSAK. 33 



has no standing according to any generally accepted rules, as it was not adopted by 

 Linnaeus in his later works, and can hence be ignored. Gigalobium '" is another 

 sj^nonym, but as to the validity of the publication of this as a generic name, I am 

 unable to determine, as the work in question is not available here. Recently W. F. 

 Wight ^ has taken up the binomial "Lens phaseoloidcs Stickman Herb. Amb. 1754; 

 Amoen. Acad. 4: 128, 1759," which may be the earliest valid generic name, but 

 which is apparently not the earliest specific designation ; the generic name has 

 moreover been generally adopted by later authors for an entirely different genus 

 in the same family, and it is not reasonable to suppose than many botanists will 

 willingly follow Wight's lead in adopting the generic name Leiis in place of 

 Entada, which will necessitate a new generic designation for the genus Lens Gren. 

 & Godr., which in turn, according to "Index Kewensis," was based on the 

 much earlier Lens (Tourn.) Linn. Syst. ed. 1 (1735). The case is not covered by 

 the list of nojnina conservanda of the Vienna Botanical Congress. 



As to the specific name, the earliest valid one is apparently Mimosa entada 

 Linn. Sp. PI. (1753) 518, based on Fl. Zeyl. 219, and Eyitada Rheede Hort. Malabar. 

 9: 151, t. 61 (later authors, Trime'n, Baker, etc., cite the plate as t. 77). Accord- 

 ing to Trimen ^^ both references are Entada scandens. Bentham -" has, however, 

 referred Mimosa entada Linn, to Entada polystachya.DC, an American species, 

 after examining the specimen in the Linnean Herbarium. The specimen is. how- 

 ever, not the type of tlie species, and accordingly has no bearing on the case.
