Bauhinia grandiflora Blanco FI. Filip. ,(1837) 332, ed. 2 (1845) 231, ed. 3, 2: 
67, non Juss., may or may not be referable here. The description applies better 
than to any other Philippine species known to me, but there are some discrepancies. 
5. Bauhinia dolichocalyx Merr. in Philip. Journ. Sci. 3 (1908) Bot. 231. 
Luzon, Province of Batangas, For. Bur. 7756 Curran & Merritt. 
Native name : Malabanot. 
Endemic. 
This species was placed by me in the section Lysiphyllum, an error on my part, 
as the entire leaves are quite incompatible with the section. It may be referable 
to the section Pauletia.

This species is manifestly very closely allied to Bauhinia bidentata Jack of the 
Malay Peninsula and Sumatra, but is readily distinguished by its much shorter 
calyx- tube. It is also closely allied to B. pyrrhaneura North, of Sumatra. B. 
copelandii does not appear to be distinct from B. leptopus Perk.
