types in the United States National Herbarium, the Berlin Herbarium, 
DeCandolle Herbarium, and Philippine material in some other institu-

A considerable amount of work has been done in the past on Philip- 
pine Leguminosae, so that in the great quantity of material examined, 
I have found it necessary or expedient to describe as new, only a single 
genus, twelve species, and a few varieties. A number of complicated 
cases of synonymy were encountered, some of which I have not as yet 
been able to solve in a satisfactory manner. In accordance with the 
rules of priority approved by the Vienna Botanical Congress, a certain 
number of changes have become necessary, and in most cases the earliest 
valid name has been adopted, both in genera and species, except in the 
ease of the former, where the list of nomina conservanda of the Vienna 
Congress has been accepted. 
A tabulated list is given below of the retained generic names, as ap- 
proved by the Vienna Congress, and also the rejected ones, so far as this 
affects Philippine Leguminosae.
