Type specimen 11821, A. D. E. Elmer, Todaya (Mt. Apo), 
District of Davao, Mindanao, September, 1909. 
On a dry densely wooded steep ridge at 4500 feet altitude 
on the west side of Mainit creek on the trail to Baclayan. This 
species as well as a number of others the Bagobos call *Malagsam." 
At first glance it appears like E. foxrworthyi Elm. yet upon 
close examination it is as fine a distinct species as one could wish.

slightly bitter, gradually changing from the outer dull yellowish 
brown or nearly white sapwood to the brownish black heart; 
bark dull yellow except the scaling gray or dull brown epidermis; 
branches forming a flattish dense crown; the ultimate ones 
numerous, the young green portion suberect, lax, subterete.
