Quick Post: Grande Island has a back beach. It has white sand and a nice view of the West Philippine Sea and the nearby small island of Chiquita. And along the adjacent greenery, there were stands of flowering Ardisia. I am not sure what species this is but to me, it resembles the awnasin or Ardisia pyramidalis growing in the cool areas of Mt. Makiling. Unusual if it is indeed A.pyramidalis, as it is growing wild in the hot coastal areas of the island. I once saw an awnasin growing in hot Manila and suffered greatly. It probably is a different plant.

can ardisia pyramidalis be grown from cuttings? thanks!!
Not tried it yet. Probably better by marcot.
Are ardisia common in the UPD campus? I think there's one at the School of Economics, near the backlot, and it looks like ardisia squamulosa.
