Type specimen number 13200, A. D. E. Elmer, Puerto 

 Princesa (Mt. Pulgar), Palawan, May, 1911. 



In the chaparral vegetation of the rocky summit of 

 mount Pulgar at 4000 feet altitude. 



Nearest to P. coccineum Elm,, but our leaves are not 

 strictly obtuse nor entirely glabrous, never ovately elliptic, base 

 not at all so broad and obtusely rounded or subtruncate and 

 averaging considerably less in size. It also resembles P. per- 

 simile Kurz. 



In 1910 I collected on Sibuyan island, two numbers 12130 

 and 12214 respectively in flower and in mature fruit of 

 Angelesia splendens Korth. which material was distributed under 

 a new name of Parinarium. The following year it was again 

 collected on Palawan island where it is very common.
