Bauhinia castrata Blanco FI. Filip. (1837) 331 (sp. nov.) = BAUHINIA PURPUREA Linn.; Blanco op. cit. ed. 2 (1845) 231; ed. 3, 2'(1878) ' 66. Blanco described Bauhinia castrata from a specimen observed in cultivation in a garden at Pasig, Rizal Province; BAilon. He later reduced it to Bauhinia purpurea Linn., which Fernandez- Villar considered to be the correct disposition of. it. As Bauhi- nia purpurea .Linn, after long search, was not to be found in the Philippines, cultivated or otherwise, I considered this position of Blanco’s species to Be erroneous. I am now of the opinion, however, that the reduction to Bauhinia purpurea Linn, was correct, as Blanco’s description conforms closely to the characters of the Linnean species, which is, moreover, widely cultivated as an ornamental plant;, it has been re-introduced into the Philippines in recent times.
