Cebu, Bur. Sci. 1735 McGregor, Hallier s. n. 



A native of tropical America, introduced in the Philippines; it is not known 

 whether the species is spontaneous or only cultivated in the Archipelago. 



Bradhurya Raf. (1817), and Vexillaria Hoffmg. (1824), are both older than 

 Centrosema, the latter name being first used by DeCandolle, in 1825, as a section 

 of Ciitoria. Centrosema is, however, here retained in accordance with the list 

 of nomina consrrvanda of the Vienna Botanical Congress.
