Lamarck’s species was correctly interpreted by Blanco, and his
specific name is older than the more commonly used Moringa
pterygosperma Gaertner. The species is commonly cultivated
throughout the Philippines at low and medium altitudes, is not
a native of the Archipelago, but was certainly introduced in
prehistoric times.
