All the specimens cited above are from cultivated plants, and this form is 

 unknown in tlic wild state in the Philippines. It is characterized by its very 

 large pods, wliicli are from 25 to 30 cm long, and about 5 cm wide. 



I am not at all sure that the specimens above cited represent true Canavalia 

 gladiata (Jacq.) DC, as I have not seen the original description of tlie species; 

 it is reduced by most authors to Canavalia lineata (Linn.) DC. 



Tropics of tlie world; certainly not a native of tlie Philippines.

Widely distributed in the Pbilipjiines and frequently cultivated; probalily a 

 native of the old WmM, but now <listributed throughout the Tropics of the 

 world. 



The most generally used specific name is here retained for this well known 

 species, although it is by no means the oldest. Following the Vienna rules, 

 strictly, a new combination is necessary, whichever generic name is used. The 

 oldest generic name is Cajan Adans. (1763), which was corrected by DeCandoUe 

 (1813) to Cajamis, and the case is not covered by the list of nomina conscrvanda 

 of the Vienna Botanical Congress, although following strict priority, Cajan 

 would be the correct generic name; both specific names proposed by DeCandolle 

 are older than the one proposed by Sprengel, u.nder which the species is generally
