MERRILL. 
Native names: Tugle (Rizal) ; malagogong-dapo (Pampanga). 
This* is described as having the vexillary filament free, which would place the 
species in the § Aganope ; I have examined a number of flowers from both speci- 
mens cited in the original description, and find the vexillary filament more or less 
united with the others. In Rizal Province the bark of this vine is used to stupefy 
fish.

Derris multiflora var. ? longifolia Benth. in Journ. Linn. Soc. Bot. 4 (1860) 
Suppl. 108; Vid. Phan. Cuming. Philip. (1885) 109, non D. longifolia Benth. 
Derris multiflora Vid. Rev. PI. Vase. Filip. (1886) 112; Perk. Frag. FI. Philip. 
(1904) 83; Merr. in Philip. Journ. Sci. 1 (1906) Suppl. 66, non Benth. 
Derris multiflora var. ? longifolia Benth. was based on Cuming 1162, but 
Bentham states that the two specimens, Junghuhn, from Java, type of the species, 
and Cuming 1162, from the Philippines, type of the variety longifolia, were 
without fruit, and hence it was difficult to judge the affinities of the two speci- 
mens. Recently material has been collected in the Philippines, in fruit, that 
in all vegetative characters matches Cuming 1162, which shows that the var. 
longifolia belongs in the § Brachypterum, and must be closely allied to Derris 
scandens ; as the pods of D. multiflora are described, from Junghuhn’s notes, as 
“oblique rotundato,” it is evident that the Javan and Philippine plants must 
be very different. Accordingly the Philippine form is here treated as a distinct 
species.
