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 I486, referred 

 here by Meisner. Blume's actual type was a specimen collected by 

 Perrottet; Foxworthy, who examined it, notes that Elmer 7699 and 91 33 

 agree with it; they do' not very closely match Cuming's specimens, so that 

 perhaps more than one species is represented.
