ENUMERATION OF PHILIPPINE LEGUMINOSAE. <>1 



ippiiie material as C. stenophyllu, which Bentham '^ considered to be distinct from 

 C. linifolia Linn, f., distinguished from the latter by its narrow leaves, slightly 

 smaller flowers, and broader upper calyx-lobes. Baker,^* working with more 

 abundant material, reduced C. stenophylla to C. linifolia Linn, f., and I have 

 followed him in this, matter. I consider G. formosana Matsum. to be un- 

 questionably identical with C. stenophylla Vog., and here reduce it with the latter 

 to C. linifolia Linn, f.-

Bengal to Ava, Tenasserim, and Java; not reported from southern China or 

 from the Malay Peninsula. 



This form has been identified at Kew both as Crotalaria humifiisa Grab. 

 {Merrill J,266) , and as C. prostrata Roxb. (Elmer 5826, Loher 2399, Vidal 26.1(5), 

 but there seems to be a single species represented, which, from the original 

 descriptions, agi'ees most closely with C. acicularis Ham. The presence of 

 acicular stipules on the Philippine material at once excludes the possibility of it 

 being referable to C. prostrata Roxb., which is described as being without 

 stipules; the sessile pods, containing about 15 seeds, apparently would place the 

 specimens with C. acicularis, rather than with C. humifusa, as the latter species 

 is said to have a short-stalked pod containing but 6 to 8 seeds.

Both the typical form and the var. major are represented in the material cited 

 above under this species; the latter apparently intergrades, judging from the 

 material at present available for comparison. 



Crotalaria chincnsis Linn, has been reported from the Philippines by Bentham,^''
