Type specimen for fruit 7611 and for flower 9147, A. D. E. 
Eimer, Lucban, Province of Tayabas, Luzon, May, 1907. It 
was associated with M. fasciculatum (Presl) K. Schum. in 
loose fertile soil of wooded slopes near streams at 750 meters 
on Mount Banahao. It is a coarser plant and its comparatively 
simple inflorescence serve to mark it as the second species 
in the genus.
