Cebu, Bur. Sci. 1735 McGregor, Hallier s. n. 
A native of tropical America, introduced in the Philippines; it is not known 
whether the species is spontaneous or only cultivated in the Archipelago. 
Bradburya Raf. (1817), and Vexillaria Hofl'mg. (1824), are both older than 
Centrosema, the latter name being first used by DeCandolle, in 1825, as a section 
of Clitoria. Centrosema is, however, here retained in accordance with the list 
of nomina conservanda of the Vienna Botanical Congress.
