Widely distributed in the Philippines at low altitudes; throughout the Tropics. 
The Philippine specimens appear to be nearer to the variety mollis (Benth.)

fruit, have the pods appressed-strigose, while in the typical form they are described 
as glabrous. 
70. ERYTHRINA Linn. 
Pods turgid and seed bearing throughout their length, the basal portion not

Calyx campanulate, subequally 2-lipped, not splitting to the base § Microp- 
teryx. 
Leaflets ovate or rhomboid-ovate, acuminate, submembranaceous, pubescent

in Linnaeus’ hands, and in part on Gelala alba Humph. Herb. Amboin. 2 : 234,
