 Throughout the Philippines in forests at medium altitudes, on some 

 mountains ascending to 1,800 m altitude. With a very large series of 

 specimens from all parts of the Philippines, I fail to find any constant 

 distinguishing characters between Helicia cumingiana Presl and H. phil- 

 ippinensis Meisn. Endemic.
