Northern Luzon (Cagayan) to Palawan and Mindanao, in most or all 
islands and provinces; represented by more than 100 individual collections. 
In primary forests at low and medium altitudes. Endemic. 
This interpretation is largely based on Cuming 1585 and 1486, referred 
here by Meisner. Blume’s actual type was a specimen collected by 
Perrottet; Foxworthy, who examined it, notes that Elmer 7699 and 9133 
agree with it; they do not very closely match Cuming’s specimens, so that 
perhaps more than one species is represented.
