The type of the species was from Jala Jala, Laguna Province, Luzon, 

 and the typical form is represented by Merrill Phil. PI. 1989, Sp. Blan- 

 coanae 587. It is very common in the Philippines, its bright red flowers 

 at once distinguishing it from Leea sambucina Willd. = L. indica (Burm. 

 f.) Merr. with which it has been confused. Gagnepain suggests, Bull. Soc.
