The above specimens certainly represent the species as interpreted by Vidal 

 and accepted by Brandis, but as noted by Brandis, Blanco's description does not 

 apply closely. The tree is apparently not well known to the natives of the region 

 surrounding Mount Mariveles, as no native name was obtained. Specimens from 

 the mountains back of Manila, identical with those cited above, bear the Tagalog 

 names Lisican and Bangui.
