Negretfa pruriens Blanco FI. Filip, ed. 2 (1845) 411 (sp. vel. comb. nov.J r 0, 2 (1879) 389, t. 331=: MUCUNA PRURIENS (Linn.) DC. This species was reduced by Fernandez-Villar to Mucuna iutropwrpurea DC., certainly by error, as de Candolle’s .species does not extend to the Philippines. I interpret Blanco’s state- ment regarding the pods, “Legum. * * con surcos trans- versales,” as applying to the distinct transverse depressions between the seeds which are evident in fully matured pods ; his =description in all other respects applies exactly, while the species is common in the immediate vicinity of Manila and is widely distributed in the Philippines at low and medium altitudes. It rs.- commonly known as nipai or lipai. The flowers are very dark purple in color. The name Negretia pruriens Blanco does not appear in Index Kewensis.
