A common and widely distributed species in the Philippines, for which the 
earliest specific name is here adopted. Cavanilles’ Bauhinia ? latisiliqua is a 
mixture, the leaves being those of a true Bauhinia, but the fruit manifestly a 
Mezoneurum. It was based on material collected in the Philippines by Nee, the 
fruit, at least, coming from the town of Cavinti in Laguna Province, Luzon. As 
the specific name was taken from fruit characters, and as the fruit as figured and 
described is manifestly Mezoneurum, I consider that Bauhinia ? latisiliqua is 
typified by the fruit, and that it should be considered as Mezoneurum. Local 
names, T., Camut pusa, Camut e abag, Cabit cabag, Sagnit, Sapnit ; V., Tugabang, 
TJgabang, Sampinit; in Basilan Sokit, Sampinit. 
Timor, and according to Baker, in Tenasserim.
