DC.=CANAVALIA LINEATA (Thunb.) DC.
Blanco’s description is very imperfect, and the reduction is
made chiefly from the habitat cited by him* The description
applies as well, perhaps better, to Canavalia microcarpa (DC.)
Merr/' (C. turgida Grah.). Canavalia lineata (Thunb.) DC.
grows on the. sandy beaches above high tide mark, while C. micro-
carpa Merr. grows in thickets back of the beach.
Illustrative specimen from Balayan, Batangas Province, Lu-
zon, August, 1914 {Merrill" Species Blancoanae No. 97).
