leviter falcatis, utrinque obtusis vd apice breviter apiculatis, 
valvis perspicue reticulatis. 
A scandent shrub of indefinite length, entirely glabrous except 
the somewhat ferruginous-pilose inflorescences. Branches and 
branchlets slender, terete, reddish-brown, smooth. Leaves 3- 
foliolate, the petioles 2.5 to 6 cm long; leaflets firmly chartaceous, 
oblong-ovate to ovate, brownish or pale-olivaceous when dry, 
shining, 7 to 11 cm long, 3 to 6 cm wide, base usually rounded, 
apex usually obtuse; lateral nerves about 7 on each side of the 
midrib, distinct, the reticulations evident and rather close on 
both surfaces. Panicles terminal and in the upper axils, some- 
what ferruginous-pilose with subappressed hairs as are the very 
young calyces. Mature flowers not seen, the panicles before an- 
thesis up to 16 cm in length. Pods glabrous, shining, brownish 
when dry, thin, in general oblong, somewhat falcate, about 11 cm 
long and 3 cm wide, base inequilaterally rounded, apex rounded 
or obtuse, often slightly apiculate, the valves conspicuously re- 
ticulate. 
Luzon, Laguna Province, Mount Maquiling, For. Bur. 26841 Mabesa, 
July 23, 1917, along trails on rather open slopes, altitude 100 to 200 meters. 
The same species is represented by Bur. Sci. 2630 Ramos and For. Bur. 
466 Ahern’s collector, from Rizal Province, Luzon, both of these specimens 
being with very young buds. 
Spatholobus philippinensis Merr. is entirely different from the few other 
representatives of the genus known from the Philippines. It is well char- 
acterized by being entirely glabrous except for the sparingly pubescent 
inflorescences. In vegetative characters it is somewhat similar to Spath- 
olobus harmandii Gagnep. of Indo-China.

An erect, entirely glabrous shrub, the branches and branchlets 
pale when dry, slender, terete. Leaves opposite, 1- to 3-foliolate
