From 7000 to 9000 feet (Haviland, 1122). 
Nearest allied to an undescribed species from the Philippines (Cuming, 937; Vidal, 377, 
800). This differs chiefly in smaller flowers and capsules, shorter calyx-teeth, and 
fewer nerves. It grows on Mt. Banahao, at 6000 feet. Hedyotis pulehella approaches 
otherwise, though in a much more remote degree, H. tenuipes, Hemsl., from South China, 
and H. macrostemon, Hook. et Arn., also from South China. Amongst the Indian species 
H. pruinosa, Wight. & Arn., comes nearest; but this affinity also is by no means close.

From 8000 to 12,000 feet (Low; Haviland, 1120). 
A very fine species, of the habit of H. Lessertiana, Arn. But the roer are, as 
in the previous two species, axillary, the axis terminating with a bunch of leaves which 
grow out in t the next season and again produce flowers from the axils only. However
