Type specimen 12051, A, D. E. Elmer, Magallanes 
(Mt. Giting-giting), Province of Capiz, Island of Sibuyan, 
March, 1910. 
A small tree only once or twice observed in compact 
red soil of the wooded hills at 500 feet. Called “‘Dunpilan’’ 
by the Visayan on Sibuyan island. This identical species 
is matched in the herbarium, Bureau of Science, by a single 
specimen collected eight years ago by Garcia at Dalupaon, 
Camarines Sur, Luzon. His ticket bears number 21 and the 
vernacular name is given as '"Dagat-laya." Named after the 
first discoverer, Sr. S. Garcia. 
Mr. Merrill assures me that Garcia’s specimen quite 
agrees with Haviland’s type of A. multifolia; yet the leaves 
in our specimens are twice as large, not ovate, with much 
longer petioles. We have other specimens which come nearer 
to Haviland’s description.
