Type specimen 11227, A. D. E. Elmer, Todaya (Mt. Apo), 
District of Davao, Mindanao, July, 1909. 
A numerously branched tree-trunk climber on a wind 
swept wooded ridge of mount Burebid at 3750 feet. 
Despite the flowering heads being involuerate, I place 
it in Lucinaea, and our species is related to L. ridleyi King.
