Type specimen number 12681, A. D. E. Elmer, Brooks 
Point (Addison Peak), Palawan, February, 1911. - 
Found in wet black soil near a wooded swamp along 
the sea shore and about 25 feet above its level. The natives 
or Tagbanuas call it '"Tantangan."

I collected years ago in northern Luzon. Flowers not pink 
nor inflorescence pendantly elongated. Dr. Foxworthy also 
reports our Palawan specimens as being fragrant.
