This tree is found in rocky places on the beach or in rocky river beds not 
much above sea level. It is the only representative of the family found at 
8ea level in the Philippines. 
I collected this same form on the rocky beach of the Island of Satang Basa, 
just off the coast of Sarawak in 'June 1908 {Foxicorthy ^17).
