The Linnean species was correctly interpreted by Blanco. It
is of very local occurrence in the Philippines and apparently
thrives only in those provinces subject to a prolonged dry season.
It occurs only in the settled areas and is manifestly a purposely
introduced plant in the Philippines,
Illustrative specimen from Batangas Province, Luzon, Febru-
ary, 1915 (Merrill: Species Blancoa/nae No. 80b).
