Typespecimen 10627 and 11524, A. D. E. Elmer, Todaya 
(Mt. Apo), District of Davao, Mindanao, May and August 
respectively, 1909. 
The former number was collected on a forested mossy 
ridge at 7500 feet on mount Calelan; the latter at about 
the same elevation in shrubby woods along the Seriban creek 
on mount Apo. 
Very near to D. minor H. Br. but apparently with dif- 
ferent fruits.
