No. 1, February 2023 Patano et al.: Distribution andEcology of Metapocyrtus (Metapocyrtus) ged Cabras & Medina, 2021 plants are dominated by ferns, lycophytes, aroids, orchids, gesneriads, palms, pandans, Medinilla spp., and gingers. The forest is over the clay to loam soil mostly covered with gravel having an average composition (50%) of very common grasses, sedges, herbs, and ferns; bryophyte density (40%); leaf litter (3 inches); an abundance of Nepenthes (20%); fallen logs (80%); and exposed rocks (80%) ( Figure 3B). Common threats in the area are agricultural activities extending to forested areas, illegal logging, the presence of invasive species (Piper aduncum), and poaching. ...

... habitat of the species in this area is characterized as an upper montane forest with elevation ranging from 1,900-2,100 masl dominated by trees species such as Ardisia sp., Aquilaria sp., Myrsine sp., Elaeocarpus sp., Macaranga sp., Tasmannia piperita, Weinmannia sp., Ascarena sp., Morilla sp., Pittosporum sp., and Leptospermum javanicum, whereas understory plants are dominated by ferns, lycophytes, aroids, and gingers. The forest is over loamy soil mostly covered with gravel having a lesser composition (25%) of very common grasses and ferns, bryophyte density (70%); leaf litter (2 in); an abundance of Nepenthes (10%); fallen logs (70%); and exposed rocks (70%) ( Figure 3A). Common threats in the area are also the rampant agricultural activities that have now extended into the protected zones of Mount Apo ( Figure 4B). ...
