I have very recently discussed this species and its synonymy 29 citing also the 
Philippine specimens that represent the species. It is not a native of the 
Philippines, but its original home is not definitely known, although it was 
probably derived from tropical America. Prain says that it is not a native of 
India, but was introduced from Madagascar. It is at once distinguished from 
all other Philippine species by its single perfect anther. To the synonymy I 
have added here B. subrotundifolia of F.-Villar and of Naves (not of Cavanilles) ; 
Naves’s plate fairly well represents the species. 
DOUBTFUL AND EXCLUDED SPECIES. 
Bauhinia lunaria Cav. Icon. 5 (1799) 4, t. 407; Vid. Rev. PI. Vase. Filip. 
(1886) 117; F.-Vill. Nov. App. (1880) 72. 
The type of this species was collected by N6e, the localities given by Cavanilles 
being “Habitat in Cal&van et Acapulco vieiniis,” the former in the Province 
of Laguna, Luzon, and the latter in Mexico. The species belongs in the section 
Casparia, which is entirely American (one species now cultivated in the tropics 
of the world). The species is undoubtedly Mexican, and should be excluded 
from the Philippine flora. 
Bauhinia subrotundifolia Cav. 1. c. t. 406; Vidal 1. c.; F.-Vill. 1. c. 
“Habitat in Calavan duodeeim leucis a Manila, et etiam in Acapulco vieiniis.” 
Like the preceding, a species of the section Casparia, and undoubtedly Mexican, 
and not Philippine; to be excluded. 
Bauhinia ? latisiliqua Cav. 1. c., t. 408, based on Philippine material, the 
leaves of a Bauhinia, but the fruit of Mezoneurum. ■ (—Mezoneurum latisiliquum 
(Cav.) Merr.) 
Bauhinia castrata Blanco FI. Filip. ( 1837 ) 331, reduced in the second 
edition (1845) to B. purpurea Linn., and considered by F.-Villar (Nov. App. 
(1880) 73), to represent the Linnean species. The identification may be correct, 
as Blanco’s material was from a cultivated specimen. No recent collector has 
found B. purpurea in the Philippines.
