GALACTIA P. Browne
DollchOs repens Blanco FI. Filip. (1837) 577; ed. 2 (1845) 402; ed. 3, 2
(1879) 373, non Linn. := GALACTIA ' TENUIFLORA W. & A.
Fernandez-Villar reduced this to Vigna repens Baker, a species
that does not extend to the Philippines, and moreover one to
which Blanco’s description does not apply. The description con-
forms exactly with Galactia tenuiflora W. & A., this being now
known from several localities in central Luzon. The plant is
probably more common than collections would indicate, for, as
Blanco notes, it is decidedly inconspicuous. No other Philippine
leguminous plant known to me agrees at all with Blanco’s de-
scription.
Illustrative specimen from Punta de Azufre, Batangas Prov-
ince, Luzon, October, 1916 {Merrill: Species Blancoanae No.
1039).
