The Philippine specimens differ from Asiatic material in our herbarium 
(Henry 9238, Yunnan, China, and Meebold 531/3, Manipur, India) in some slight 
characters, being less villous, and with smaller leaflets. I can, however, detect 
no specific differentiating characters in the material before me.

The Philippine material matches Chinese specimens, so named, closely, but 
.is apparently somewhat different from Indian material. A critical examination 
of the Philippine and Chinese plants and comparison of the same with a large 
series of Indian specimens will be necessary to determine whether or not more 
than one species is represented.

Glycine iiispida (Moench.) Maxim, is represented among our Philippine 
material by a single specimen from plants cultivated for experimental purposes ill 
Manila, Cuzner 1/9. This Asiatic species properly has no place in the Philippine 
flora, and is apparently not cultivated by the natives. The beans are imported 
from Amoy in considerable quantities by the Chinese in Manila. 
EXCLUDED SPECIES. 1 
Glycine javanica Linn.; F.-Vill. Nov. App. (1880) 62. 
I have seen no Philippine material representing this species; it extends from 
tropical Africa to India and Ceylon, and is also found in Java.
