Type specimen 11259, A. D. E. Elmer, Todaya (Mt. Apo), 
Distriet of Davao, Mindanao, August, 1909. 
Collected on a wind swept humid ridge at 3500 feet of mount 
Burebid. Not otherwise seen. The Bagobos call it “Malagsam.” 
This species has leaves one half as large as those on Æ. 
rosenbluthii C. B. Rob. and nerves less distinct on account of the 
thicker blades; the infrutescence is shorter, sparser and more 
congested. With E. purpuricarpa Elm. they begin to form a 
eritieal bunch.
