Type specimen 9950, A. D. E. Elmer, Dumaguete, Cuernos 
Mountains, Province of Negros Oriental, Negros, April, 1908. 
Collected on Leucosyke of a steep densely thicketed ravine 
at 2500 feet. It was not infrequently met, and the name 
the natives give it is ‘‘Manoag.” 
The leaves are much larger and differently shaped than in 
1973 Cuming on which is based L. acutus (Van Tiegh.) Engl. Our 
specimen can not be referred to Elytranthe cumingii (Van Tiegh.) 
Engl., though possibly it should be referred to that genus.
