Bauhinia pachyphylla Merr. var. wenzelii K. & S.S. Larsen
Deviates from var. pachyphylla in the leaf texture being thinner and in the persistent tomentose indumentum. The inflorescence axis is straight but has the prominent knobs of the shed pedicel-bases; the pedicels are thinner and slightly longer. The buds are elliptic with acute apex. The hypanthium is much narrower, tubular and distinctly longer, 20 mm or more with a diameter of 2-3 mm.
Distribution
Malesia: Philippines (known from Mindanao, prov. Surigao).
Note
Larsen & Larsen (1996: 488) have studied the collections Wenzel 2537 and Mendoza & Convocar PNH 10296, both have been identified as Bauhinia perkinsae with which species it has no resemblance.
