Type specimen 10762, A. D. E. Elmer, Todaya (Mt. Apo), 
District of Davao, Mindanao, May, 1909. 
Discovered upon limbs of a tall tree in a fertile, humid 
and densely forested flat at 3750 feet, along the trail between 
Todaya and Apo. Observed only once and was named by the 
Bagobo “‘Lawmoos.’’? Named after and old Bagobo whose name | 
is Angat. This man has never failed giving me the native name i 
of all plants collected in that region. He isthe father of a number 
of grown up sons and who with them rendered most of my aid. 
Nearly every excursion taken to mount Apo will always recruit 
at Todaya one or more members of the family as guides or 
cargadores. 
Leaves less than one half as large and differently shaped 
than in S. parasiticum Blm.
