What a striking plant!! I suspect that it is many decades old. While the leaves are quite distinct (being sub-orbicular), the swirling ridges on the caudex remind me of the Hydnophytum formicarum that I grow from seed that I obtained several years ago from Merlin Sy, reportedly from Quezon. Here is an old image of a caudex from that population that is quite a bit smaller (~12 cm diameter) than the one shown above, but that shares the "pumpkin" form and dark color with the Mindanao specimen.
