The species is manifestly closely allied to Atalantia disticha (Blanco) 
Merr., from which it may be easily distinguished by its very differently 
shaped leaves which are not gradually narrowed upward to an acuminate 
apex and which are distinctly erenulate, not entire. All the specimens are 
indicated as growing in thickets or forests at the edge of the beach, on 
beach-cliffs, or near mangrove swamps. The Visayan name in Ticao is 
indicated by Clark as carucabagao.
