Saurauia elegans

Saurauia

Philippines - Halsema Highway
12
Saurauia elegans (top), a tree related to the kiwi-fruit, is common. An unidentified species of Saurauia (bottom) with golden-copper hairs is very rare, and may be an undescribed species. Saurauia occurs in both Central American and SE Asian cloud forests, and we already grow three Mexican species at San Francisco Botanical Garden. These from Luzon will make a fine addition, allowing possibilities for interpreting the biogeographical distribution of cloud forest genera.
