rigeri crassiusculi, obscure fulvo-v. ferrugineo-villosuli. Foliorum limbus 
orbiculari-ovatus, breviler cuspidato-acuminatus, basi late rotundatus. Flores 
foem. racemosi v. anguste panieulati, in inflorescentiis fasciculati. Inflores- 
centice foem. 6-8 cm. longe, puberula. Bractec exigue, orbiculari-ovata. 
Pedicelli foem. crassi, fructigeri 4-5 mm. longi. Calyx fem. 14 mm. longus, 
sub fructu non accrescens, plus minusve superne rupius et patulus, subfer- 
rugineo-puberulus. Ovarium globosum. Capsule fere 5 mm. longe, minute 
ceraceo-granulose, Flores masc. ignoti. — Proxime accedit ad M. cuspidatam, 
sed calyce fem. mox quasi truncato-integro, stylo elongato fere lavi, et dein 
. ovario armato distinguitur. Folia ceterum vix non simpliciter et breviter 
acuminata multoque magis membranacea, haud prominenter reticulato-venosa.
