Jason,

Since you said you’d covered Google pretty well, I started my search at Flickr. I know, but if it is a place people might go, hike on, etc. they can often be found on Flickr, particularly if it might be a local name rather than something official.

I didn’t find tourist pictures, but I found this drawing, https://www.flickr.com/photos/79472036@N07/13539780713/in/photolist-mCsV64 

From CHEEK, M., & JEBB, M. (2013). Nepenthes alzapan (Nepenthaceae), a new species from Luzon, Philippines. Phytotaxa, 100(1), 57. doi:10.11646/phytotaxa.100.1.6 

I see that Robert just found this same article and noted that the references point to 1925. Long story short, I found other specimens submitted by the same guy in 1925 (not Nepenthes) and finally struck gold at https://science.mnhn.fr/institution/mnhn/collection/p/item/p06780653?listIndex=334&listCount=377 

Hopefully this is helpful.

Hello,
 
I’m trying to assist a graduate student who is looking for the latitude and longitude of an obscure mountain in the Philippines called Mt. Alzapan (possibly spelled Alsapan). It is located on Luzon around the provinces of Nueva Vizcaya or Quirino. He believes that it should be between 1,000 and 2,000 meters tall. It is referenced in a couple of botanical journals, but I have not been able to find it using our maps, gazetteers (we are missing the 1st volume of our Philippine Board on Geographic Names Gazetteer), or  a lengthy Google search. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks,
Jason
