The species is manifestly closely allied to Atalantia disticha (Blanco) 

 Merr., from which it may be easily distinguished by its very differently 

 shaped leaves which are not gradually narrowed upward to an acuminate 

 apex and which are distinctly crenulate, not entire. All the specimens are 

 indicated as growing in thickets or forests at the edge of the beach, on 

 beach-cliffs, or near mangrove swamps. The Visayan name in Ticao is 

 indicated by Clark as carucabagao.
