Following F.-Villar, the synonyms Crotalaria pallida Blanco, non Dryand., 

 and C. pumila Blanco, non Schrank, are placed here. It is, however, impossible 

 to determine from Blanco's short description whether or not he had this plant, 

 but from a knowledge of tlie region from which he secured liis material 

 (Mandaloyan, near Manila), and from his description, it seems more probable 

 that ho had a depauperate specimen of C. linifolia Linn.
