2616 LEAFLETS OF PHILIPPINE BoTANY [Vor. VII, Arr, 114 
ember, 1912. 
Collected in wet more or less stony ground of very 
humid slopes of dense woods at 5250 feet altitude along the 
new trail from lake Danao to the summit peaks of mount 
Urdaneta. ''Malaboaya" was its native name according to

Distinct from number 57% of lake Lanao or Saurauia 
clementis Merr. Its dense reddish to purplish hairs serve as 
a most distinctive character in the field.
