There is no evidence that Burman’s binomial was intended 
to represent Dolichos uncinatus Linn., although it probably 
represents the Linnean species which is the basis of Teramnus 
uncinatus (Linn.) Sw. Burman’s actual type is clearly Klein- 
hof’s specimen, as he notes that the specimen differed somewhat 
from Plukenet’s figure, Phyt. 290, t. 21 Jj, /. 2, which he cites 
as representing the species. The Linnean species is typified 
by Plunder Spec. 8. ic. 221; there is no specimen in the Linnean 
herbarium. 
PHASEOLUS Tournefort 
PHASEOLUS TRILOBATUS (Linn.) Baill. in Bull. Soc. Linn. Paris 
1 (1883) 379. 
Dolichos trilobatus Linn. Mant. 1 (1767) 101. 
Glycine triloba Burm. f. FI. Ind. (1768) 162. “Habitat in Java.” 
Glycine triloba Linn. Mant. 2 (1771) 442. 
Dolichos trilobus Ait. Hort. Kew. 3 (1789) 30. 
In describing Glycine triloba, Linnaeus cites Burman’s publi- 
cation and gives as synonyms Dolichos trilobatus Linn. Mant. 
1 (1767) 101, and Phaseolus aconitif olius Jacq. Obs. 3 (1764-71) 
2, t. 52. Jacquin’s species is generally considered a distinct one, 
while the proper name for the form Linnaeus described is 
Phaseolus trilobatus (Linn.) Baill. Dolichos trilobatus (Linn.) 
Baill. occurs in Java, but Jacquin’s species is not reported from 
that island. 
VIGNA Savi 
VIGNA SINENSIS (Linn.) Savi ex Hassk. Cat. Hort. Bogor. (1844) 279. 
Dolichos sinensis Linn. Cent. PI. 2 (1756) 28. 
Dolichos catjang Burm. f. FI. Ind. (1768) 161. “Habitat in India.” 
Dolichos catjang Linn. Mant. 2 (1771) 259. 
Vigna catjang Walp. in Linnaea 13 (1839) 533. 
If Burman’s species be typified by the first reference to an 
illustration, and the reference from which he took his specific 
name, namely, Malay Katjang poeti, Phaseolus minor Rumphius 
Herb. Amb. 5: 383, t. 139, f. I, it is identical with Vigna cylin- 
drica (Linn.) Skeels in U. S. Dept. Agr. Bur. PI. Industry Bull. 
282 (1913) 32; Merr. Interpret. Herb. Amb. (1917) 284 [ Pha- 
seolus cylindricus Linn. Amoen. Acad. 4 (1759) 132]. There 
is no direct evidence that Burman had an actual specimen. The 
catjang, however, does not appear to be specifically distinct from 
the cowpea, Vigna sinensis (Linn.) Savi.
