A species widely distributed in the Philippines, and apparently common. The 
type was from the Moluccas, introduced into the Calcutta Botanical Gardens, and 
described by Roxburgh from living specimens. The Philippine material agrees 
closely with the various descriptions and figures of the species, and exactly 
matches numerous specimens in our herbarium from the Buitenzorg Gardens, so 
that I have no hesitation in recording the species from the Philippines. It 
extends from Perak to the Malay Archipelago. T., Gatasan, Baniti; II., Buneg. 
Some specimens bear also the names Tatlang anac and Bilucao, which however 
properly belong to other species.

The type of this species was collected by Mr. Moseley of the Challenger 
Expedition, on the small islet Malamaui close to the north coast of Basilan, and 
opposite Isabela de Basilan. I have seen the type in Herb. Kew, but it is 
rather fragmentary, and seems to be closely matched by DeVore <£ Hoover 81/, 
from the Island of Basilan. Elmer 71S7, from Palo, Leyte, may be the same, 
although of this I have only leaf specimens.
