The types of Mucuna sericophyila and M. luzoniensis are not identical, but 

 additional material shows a number of intergrades, and I am now of the opinion 

 that the species can not be distinguished from one another. The species shows 

 some variation, but in all essential characters appears to be constant; the leaflets 

 are not all emarginate, but frequently are blunt or acute, or even shortly apiculate- 

 acuminate. It is manifestly allied to M. pruriens. 



Endemic.
