In this paper we consider parabolic foliations on the complex I ) r\epsilon) ject ivc I ) 1aI1C \mathbb{C}P (2) . It is known that if such a foliation has only with hyperbolic singularities t local it must be linear after some rational change of coordinates [1] Our results enforce 111(^{1} idea that projective parabolic foliations with nondegenerate singularities must be lillea' in the above sense. We prove that if we relax the hypothesis of hyperbolic si_{I1}gu1arit ic.s, allowing also Martinet-Ramis type singularities (definition in \S 1), then t he foliat ioll is also linear hyperbolic This same conclusion holds for a parabolic foliation with simple singularities and having an algebraic leaf. If the algebraic leaf contains singularities w11ie\}_{1} are either simple nonresonant, Martinet-Ramis arld Poincare'-Dulac resonant singular it ics , or saddle-nodes in good-position (see \S 1) then the foliation is given by a ( loscd 1 ati()nal 1 -form Several examples and an application to complete polynomial vector fields oll \mathbb{C}^{2} are glven Key words holomorphic foliation, parabolic Riemann surface, holonomy group.
