Camiguin de Mindanao, Bur. Sci. H 602 Ramos, April 27, 1912, in forests 
near the summit of Mount Catarman. 
A species difficult to refer to its proper subgenus in the absence of 
female flowers and fruits, but well characterized by its short-petioled, 
eglandular, pinnately nerved, crenate-serrate leaves, and by its slender, 
elongate staminate spikes.
