Inflorescences may be caulinascent. These traits have been associated with possible bat pollination (see Van der Pijl 1941). Van der Pijl (1941) did not observe bat visits, but observed on wing and keel petals typical claw marks that indicate bat visit. He also observed night flowering, the production of copious, sticky nectar and explosive pollen disposition (see also Dobat &amp; Peikert-Holle 1985). Mucuna flowers are often quite sturdy, another requirement for bat pollination. A direct observation of bat visits was done by Hopkins &amp; Hopkins (1993), who describe how a bat ( Synycteris australis (Peters)) alighted on an inflorescence of M. macropoda Baker f., its position on the inflorescence, nectar eating and pollen disposition (Hopkins &amp; Hopkins 1993: f. 3, 4). Some traits in the pollen morphology of Leguminosae have been associated with bird- or bat pollination (Ferguson &amp; Skvarla 1982, Ferguson 1990).According to Ferguson &amp; Skvarla (1982) especially exine sculpture and structure could be indica- tors of bird- or bat pollination. They mention coarsely rugulate to verrucate exine sculpture for species that are obviously bat-pollinated and the occurrence of tectal columellae or a double layer of columellae for some bird pollinated papilionoids. However, several genera and species adapted to bird- or bat pollination show no such specialisations and have perforate or finely reticulate exine sculpture. In 1984 Ferguson mentions verrucate ornamentation and complex exine stratification in some bird pollinated papilionoids. Stroo (2000) did not find any correlation between bat pollination and exine morphology. In his study only pollen size correlated positively with bat pollination: Pollen of bat plants is usually larger, 75 µm on the average, non bat-pollinated related species have significantly smaller pollen: 64 µm on the average. Pollen size seems also to be correlated with style length: In bat plants the styles are long, 52 mm on the average (range 4 – 240 mm), in non bat-pollinated relatives the average style length is 42 mm. In Asian Mucuna species the style length ranges from 12–150 mm, average c. 45 mm. Mucuna macropoda, a bat-pollinated species (Hopkins &amp; Hopkins 1993), has styles of 20 –21 mm long, while M. platyphylla (= M. albertsii), according to Stroo (2000) not bat-pollinated, has styles of 60– 80 mm long. Probably style length cannot be used as a proxy for pollen size as an indicator of bat pollination.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03DEE569FFEAFFFD1932FF575DF7F9F0	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The flower colour of M. aurea is recorded as red, while M. platyphylla has white to green or yellowish flowers. Mucuna platyphylla is up to now not found in the Philippines.According to the original description the flowers occur singly or in pairs. However, the few specimens seen all have brachyblasts with three scars, so presumably there have been three flowers, as is normally found in Mucuna .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03DEE569FFE4FFF31932FCA65D8EFABD	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Calyx in bud ± cylindrical, when the flower expand it becomes campanulate, but not tucked up. Three fruiting specimens have been included in the present description: Van Balgooy 6500 from Aru Islands, fruit collected from underneath a flowering specimen of M. bennettii; Prawiroadmodjo &amp; Maskuri 1541 from Celebes, originally identified as M. elegans; Sands 1211 from PNG, W Sepik Prov. The fruits of these specimens are all rather similar differing only in length. The vegetative parts of the last two specimens agree very well with the description of M. bennettii . Jeswiet 145: Pedicels sometimes swollen, probably some kind of gall. Specimens from the Moluccas (originally M. miniata) and the Solomon Islands (originally M. elegans) have usually slightly smaller flowers. In other characters no differences were found. Mucuna warburgii was described with stipellae. Here we include the specimens identified as M. warburgii, but lacking stipellae.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03DEE569FFE4FFF31932FADC5A1CFE52	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Altitude 600–2000 m. Flowering: January, July, November, December; fruiting: February, May, October.</p><p>Note — Wilmot-Dear (1984) gives 2 flowers per brachyblast. However, the structure of the inflorescence is a bit more com- plicated. Often there are two or three flowers at the top of a brachyblast, but sometimes the brachyblasts are slightly longer with one flower at the base and two or three flowers at the top of a very short lateral branch. The whole inflorescence than looks a bit like a mix of a pseudoraceme and a pseudopanicle. According to Wilmot-Dear (1984) De Candolle is the author of the epithet of this species. However, De Candolle (1825: 406) did not describe or name the species. He only placed Roxburgh’s name for an Indian plant in Mucuna . Kurz (1873) was the first to describe this species attributing the species name to Roxburgh. Roxburgh (1814) cites as ‘donor’ of the specimen J.R. (= James Roxburgh) and as place of collection Chittagong. Bracts and bracteoles are mostly caducous, however, some of the basal sterile bracts may be still present when fruiting. Young pods are ± S-shaped, mature pods are nearly straight.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03DEE569FFE4FFEC1A7DF83F5D6EFCE1	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

(see M. platyphylla) which was published in 1923. At the moment Backer transferred Stizolobium forbesii Piper to Mucuna there was already M. forbesii Baker f. blocking the use of Piper’s epithet in Mucuna and the species has to be called M. diabolica .

Soil: volcanic ash, sand, limestone. Altitude up to 700 m. Flowering and fruiting: throughout the year.</p><p>Note — Pods often have a stipe up to 10 mm long. BNBFD 7393 (Keith) probably belongs here. According to the label the flower colour is pink. Several times M. gigantea was split into subspecies. However, the authors who proposed these splits use different characters, making it difficult to compare these subspecies. Verdcourt (1979) uses fruit characters (size of fruits and number of seeds), while Ohashi &amp; Tateishi (1976) and Tateishi &amp; Ohashi (1981) use flower characters (size of standard in relation to size of wings, length of the claw of wing petals in relation to the whole length of wing petals). In the Flora Malesiana region the subspecies described by Verdcourt are found: subsp. gigantea and subsp. plurisema . According to Verdcourt the differences between these subspecies are: subsp. gigantea: Flowers small. Fruits 10–18 by 3.5– 6 cm with 1–4 seeds; subsp. plurisema: Flowers larger (up to 4 cm). Fruits 15.5 by 3.5– 4 cm with 5–6 seeds. However, the flower-size in subsp. gigantea varies from 27 mm to 53 mm, so flower-size is not a good character. Pods of subsp. gigantea measure 8–18 by 3–6.5 cm. In this character there is no difference at all; the size of the pods of subsp. plurisema falls right in the range of subsp. gigantea . In specimens of subsp. gigantea pods may be found with 4–5 seeds. In the ovary up to six ovules may be found, so 6 seeds may be expected. To conclude: the differences as given by Verdcourt are insufficient to support subspecies. According to Ohashi &amp; Tateishi (1976) and Tateishi &amp; Ohashi (1981) the Malesian material belongs to subsp. gigantea . The other subspecies, subsp. tashiroi (Hayata) H.Ohashi &amp; Tateishi, is a Taiwanese endemic.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03DEE569FFF9FFEE1932FC265E6DF82D	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

According to the first author this is the specimen Zollinger 1147. The Utrecht herbarium (now at L) holds a specimen labelled as Typus fragment. The only other information is on an older label saying in Miquel’s handwriting: “ Mucuna macrophylla M, Java ”. This fragment consist of a lateral leaflet of 19.5 by 13.5 cm, much larger than usually in M. macrophylla . Prain (1897b: 407) mentions the name M. junghuhniana in observations sub M. imbricata . It is unclear whether or not he meant to make a new combination. Burck (1893) mentions several localities for his species M. blumei: Java, Koeripan, prope Buitenzorg et Oengarang, Forbes in herb. Lugd. Bat. The first locality refers to Blume 771. The second and third localities to a Junghuhn collection (Junghuhn 193); the L duplicate of that collection consist of a piece of a branch and a leaf, the sheet bears three labels: one attached to fragment ‘Jul montis Rembang’ and two that refer to ‘Oengarang’, one with the months Mei, Jun., the other with the months April-Jun. The fourth locality probably refers to Forbes 1417, Lampongs, Kota-Djawa, the type of M. ovalis Baker f. This specimen was collected in Sumatra. For M. blumei the Blume specimen was selected as the lectotype. The twigs of older specimens tend to have a more appressed indumentum. Forbes 1417 (the type of M. ovalis) has both pseudopanicles and very short pseudoracemes with only 1–2 brachyblasts. A Teysmann specimen (4492 HB), collected in ‘Lampongs’, probably also belongs here. The flower colour of Schmutz 4292 is given as blue (‘blaublühend’).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03DEE569FFFDFFEA1932FA855A1BFD66	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Altitude up to 2000 m. Soil: stoney clay, limestone, granite, volcanic sedi- ments. Flowering: February to November; fruiting: March, July, December.</p><p>Uses — Stems are used for lashing and bridge construction. The sap is used for dying stringbags. Men in Haus Tambura (E Sepik prov.) drink the sap during ceremonial occasions .</p><p>Note — Sap is watery, colourless or milky at first slowly turn- ing to red and later to black. Mucuna novo-guineensis is in New Guinea a rather common liana. From other red/orange-flowered Mucuna species ( M. bennettii, warburgii) it can easily be distin- guished by its very short calyx teeth. Mucuna novo-guineensis is a rather variable species, especially in the length of inflorescences and peduncles and in the indumentum of several parts. Shrimps are attracted by flowers that drop into the water (pers. comm. Wanda Ave, Wim Vink). Mucuna novo-guineensis was described by Scheffer (1876) on fruiting specimens. The description of calyx and fruits fit nicely with that of specimens usually called M. novo-guineensis . He based his description on three specimens collected by Teijsmann in New Guinea: near Doré, near Andaj and in the Humboldt baai. As far as known to us no Teijsmann material from these localities exist nowadays. In his manuscript for a Flora Malesiana treatment Wiriadinata named Teijsmann 7465 as ‘type’. The BO and L duplicates of this specimen consist of leafy twigs only and are in a bad shape. The L duplicate seems to lack stipellae and probably belongs to M. bennettii . As Scheffer used three specimens in his description Wiriadinata should have selected a lectotype. However, as there are no original Teijsmann specimens available, a neotype is needed.The specimen Teysmann 7465 proposed as type is of uncertain provenance and not identifiable. We decide to select as neotype a specimen from the same general area (W Irian, ‘ Netherlands New Guinea’) were Teijsmann collected his original specimens.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03DEE569FFFCFFEB1932FDA75E02F903	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

One collection from Irian Jaya (Ridsdale 2252, Ayawasi) is included here. Probably also a collection from W Sepik Prov., PNG (Hoover 439) belongs to the present species. However, the last specimen is collected at a much higher altitude (600–1100 m). Verdcourt (1979) cites several specimens seen by him in Lae and remarks that the specimens cited by Schumann &amp; Lauterbach (1901: 365) as M. pruriens may be referable to the present species. However, no duplicates of these specimens (Hollrung 147, Lauterbach 15, 461, 2092, 2279) were seen by Verdcourt, Wiriadinata or Adema.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03DEE569FFFCFFEB1A7DFE7A5B8BFB8E	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

At several levels, from species to formae, entities have been described, many of the names concern cultivated forms. Wilmot-Dear (1984) who revised Mucuna for several areas in Asia is consistent in the use of varieties for the most distinguishable forms. Here we follow her lead and distinguish several varieties of which two occur in Malesia ( var. pruriens and var. utilis). All cultivated forms are combined in var. utilis . Backer (1916 and in Backer &amp; Bakhuizen van den Brink 1964) mentions the form/ variety hirsuta for E Java. No specimen of this variety from Java was seen by the present authors. M. pruriens var. hirsuta is found in Continental Asia.</p><p>Key to the varieties</p><p>1. Irritating hairs present at least at inflorescence axes, calyx and pods.

Verdcourt (1980) discusses the differences between M. lane-poolei and M. schlechteri citing the close similarity of these species. He decided to keep the species separate. Comparing the available material of M. lane-poolei (Darbyshire 346, Eyma 4681) with the description of M. schlechteri gives only individual differences, except for the length of the pedicels (7 mm in both specimens) and the indumentum of the disc-lobes (glabrous or with a few hairs in the two specimens). We think that these differences are too small to keep the species separate and have united the two, making M. lane-poolei a synonym of M. schlechteri .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03DEE569FFF0FFE71A7DFB1D5AA0F7A9	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

According to him M. ‘B’ (= M. verdcourtii) is rather similar to M. albertsii or M. stanleyi, but very different in the very large bracts and pods. The specimen ANU 909 (Walker) mentioned by Verdcourt belongs to M. aimun . According to Womersley on the label of NGF 4696 the flowers are reported to be red. This is, according to Verdcourt, a mis- take due to confusion with other species. The longest hairs of M. verdcourtii are 1.3– 3 mm long.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03DEE569FFF6FFE11932FD085EC8F8E8	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The first species lacks stipellae and has large calyx teeth, the second species has stipellae and short calyx teeth, M. warburgii has stipellae and large calyx teeth, it also has more ovules than the two other species. In the original description of M. warburgii four Lauterbach specimens are mentioned.

However, this species does not occur in the Philippines. Merrill (1905a, 1906) identified it as M. imbricata DC. ex Baker. A species also absent from the Philippines. The specimen cited by Merrill as an example of Negretia urens (Merrill 3783) is according to Wilmot-Dear (1991b: 250) a mixed collection which is for the greater part M. diplax to which pods and seeds of M. platyplekta are added. Later Merrill (1910, 1918) changed the identification to M. nigricans (Lour.) Steud. This, however, is a confusing and misapplied name. The material once named M. nigricans belongs to at least five taxa (Wilmot-Dear 1991c). In the Philippines two of these taxa are found: M. hainanense subsp. multilamellata and M. diplax (see Wilmot-Dear 1991a, b). However, it is not clear from Blanco’s description of the pods to which of these species his Negretia urens belongs. Merrill’s illustrative specimen of Negretia urens Blanco (Merrill sp. Blanc. 779) belongs to M. diplax .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03DEE569FFF4FFE31932FF015D80FD17	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply. See Agosti, D., Egloff, W., 2009.
