Dischidia palawanensis Elmer

[Derrick]

Dischidia palawanensis Elm. (Adolph Daniel Edward Elmer) only a suggested name in Leaflets of Philippine Botany vol.10, Notes on Asclepiadaceae (sic.) pp3561/2. (1938/9) (Leafl. Philipp. Bot.). But with no Latin type description hence illegitimate, but it does describe a saccate leafed species that Elmer suggests at bottom of page 3562 has leaves and flowers that differ from D. saccata Warb.

Here Elmer suggests comparing this species with D. saccata.
