Native names : Banot (Rizal, Bataan) ; unpic (Cagayan) ; agqui (Pampanga) ; 

 agpoi (Bataan) ; impid (Camarines) ; calibambang, salibangbangan (Negros) ; 

 balagon ( Zamboanga ) . 



Endemic. The bast fiber of this vine is very strong, and is used by the 

 Negritos of Bataan Province for making bowstrings.

 Herb. Kew. & Herb. Bur. Sci. 



This species is exceedingly closely allied to Bauhinia fulva Blume, {Phanera 

 fulva Korth.) of Java, to which, indeed Bentham referred the above number (1181) 

 of Cuming's Philippine plants." It is doubtful if the two are specifically distinct, 

 but I have not sufficient material at hand for comparison to determine the point. 



Endemic? 



11. Bauhinia perkinsae Merr. in Govt. Lab. Publ. 17 (1904) 21. 

 Bauhinia ferruginea Perk. Frag. Fl. Philip. (1904) 9, non Roxb. 

 Palawan, Merrill 731, For. Bur. 3552 Curran, Bur. Sci. 822 Foxicorthij. In 



thickets at low altitudes. 



The validity of this species is somewhat doubtfvil, although it is quite certain 

 that it is not the plant Roxburgh described as Bauhinia ferruginea. The original 

 description of B. ferruginea is very short, but Prain, who undoubtedly has correctly 

 interpreted Roxburgh's species, gives a full description,"^ which does not apply to the 

 plants here referred to B. perkinsae. The type number of the latter, however, 

 agrees very closely with some of the specimens in the Kew Herbarium that are 

 named B. ferruginea Roxb. 



Endemic.
