As yet this variety has been reported only from the Philippines, 
and has been collected there only on the islands of Luzon and 
Leyte. The type was found on the Lamao River, Province of 
Bataan, by R. S. Williams in 1903. The variety differs from the 
species in the greater amount of resinous material in its compo- 
sition, hardly a specific distinction though causing a slight dif- 
ference in the appearance of its texture.
