In forests on the north brink of the Baruring river gorge 
at 4000 feet altitude along the trail to Talon. The Bagobos 
call it “Pesan.” 
This is less hairy probably due to the shaded high altitude 
in which it was found. Usually it inhabits the hill forests and 
woods at much lower altitudes. Its range extends all over the 
Philippines and occasionally becomes semidomesticated. The 
leaves are extensively used by the natives for scouring and 
polishing purposes.
