Widely ‘distributed in the Philippines in open grass lands, especially at low 
and medium altitudes; India and Ceylon to southern China, Formosa, Malaya 
to northern Australia. 
The earliest specific name, lagopodioides, is here retained, especially as Prain 
states, 1. c. 380, that there is now no longer any doubt as to the identity of 
Hedysarum lagopodioides Linn., with Uraria lagopoides (Burm.) DC. Curiously, 
Blanco seems to have overlooked this common species entirely.

It is doubtful if this species should be admitted as Philippine, as Blanco states 
that he saw only cultivated specimens, and F.-Villar makes the same statement. 
I have seen no Philippine material either wild or cultivated. The species is 
widely distributed in the tropics of the world.
