104 .MKKRILL. 



Native names: 'fugle (Rizal); malagogongdapo (Pampanga). 



Tliis is described as having the vexillary filament free, which would place the 

 species in the § Aganope; I have examined a number of flowers from both speci- 

 mens cited in the original description, and find the vexillary filament more or less 

 united with the others. In Rizal Province the bark of this vine is used to stupefy 

 fish.

Den-is multiflora var.? longifolia Benth. was based on Cuming 1162, but 

 Eentliam states that the two specimens, Junghuhn, from Java, type of the species, 

 and Cuming 1162, from the Philippines, type of the variety longifolia, were 

 without fruit, and hence it was difficult to judge the afiinities of the two speci- 

 mens. Recently material has been collected in the Philippines, in fruit, that 

 in all vegetative characters matches Cuming 1162, which shows that the var. 

 longifolia belongs in the § Brachypterum, and must be closely allied to Derris 

 scandens; as the pods of D. multifloi-a are described, from Junghulm's notes, as 

 "oblique rotundalo," it is evident that the Javan and Philippine plants must 

 be very difTerent. Accordingly the Philippine form is here treated as a distinct 

 species.
