Native names: Banot (Rizal, Bataan) ; unpic (Cagayan) ; agqui (Pampanga) ; 
agpoi (Bataan); impid (Camarines) ; calibambang, salibangbangan (Negros) ; 
balagon ( Zamboanga ) . 
Endemic. The bast fiber of this vine is very strong, and is used by the 
Negritos of Bataan Province for making bowstrings.

Bauhinia fulva F.-Vill. Nov. App. (1880) 72, non Blume? 
Luzon, Province of Iloeos Sur, Cuming 1180 (type) in Herb. Berol., 1181 in 
Herb. Kew. & Herb. Bur. Sci. 
This species is exceedingly closely allied to Bauhinia fulva Blume, (Phanera 
fulva North.) of Java, to which, indeed Bentham referred the above number (1181) 
of Cuming’s Philippine plants. 27 It is doubtful if the two are specifically distinct, 
but I have not sufficient material at hand for comparison to determine the point. 
Endemic ? 
11. Bauhinia perkinsae Merr. in Govt. Lab. Publ. 1 7 (1904) 21. 
Bauhinia ferruginea Perk. Frag. FI. Philip. (1904) 9, non Roxb. 
Palawan, Merrill 7 31, For. Bur. 3552 Curran, Bur. Sci. .822 Foxworthy. In 
thickets at low altitudes. 
The validity of this species is somewhat doubtful, although it is quite certain 
that it is not the plant Roxburgh described as Bauhinia ferruginea. The original 
description of B. ferruginea is very short, but Prain, who undoubtedly has correctly 
interpreted Roxburgh’s species, gives a full description, 28 which does not apply to the 
plants here referred to B. perkinsae. The type number of the latter, however, 
agrees very closely with some of the specimens in the Kew Herbarium that are 
named B. ferruginea Roxb. 
Endemic.
