3. Fordia cauliflora Hemsl. in Forbes & Hemsley (1886: 160).

≡ Millettia cauliflora (Hemsl.) Gagnepain (1916: 350), non Prain (1897: 94).

Type: — CHINA. Guangdong, on the west river, May 1882, C. Ford s.n. (holotype: K000898188!; isotypes: A00066256!, HK 0006962 image!, NY00008079!) .

Gagnepain (1916b) and Hô (1999) recorded this species from Vietnam. But Lock & Heald (1994) clearly pointed out this record by Gagnepain (1916b) was presumably in error. This species was considered to be endemic to China (Wei & Pedley 2010). We also did not find any specimens from other countries. Thus, it should be excluded from the flora of Vietnam.
