Ovarium ovoideum, obliquum, dense ceraceo-glandulosum. Capsule mature-

breviore valide papilloso. 5 5 In Africa tropica occidentali, in insula Fer- 
nando-Po (Mann n. 1160! in hb. Hook.) et in Angola, in silvis secundariis 
ad ripas Cungo prope Sange (Welw. n. 447!) et ibidem in Serra de Alta 
Queta (Welw. n. 448!). Arbor 40-pedalis (Mann), v. in silvis secundariis 
tantum 10-15-pedalis (Welw.). Rami subgraciles, teretes, hinc inde 
spinas rectas cylindrico-conicas circ. 9 mm. longas gerentes, pilis obscure 
ferrugineis villoso-hirti, dein glabrescentes. Stipulae cum foliis juvenilibus 
ferrugineo-tomentelle, evolute 6 mm. longe, deciduc. Petioli graciles, 
uberuli. Limbus foliorum 9-14 cm. longus, 34-6 cm. latus, oblongo-ovatus, 
onge acuminatus, basi subangustata leviter cordatus, abbreviato-trinervius 
v. fere penninervius, basi maculato-biglandulosus, subtus fusco-v. rufo-glan- 
duloso-punctatus, integer v. repando-dentatus, interdum undulato-subrepan-

cula ramos, glomeruliflore, myrianthe, foliis multo breviores et patulz. 
Bractee masc. ovate, exiguc, multiflore. Glomeruli masc. bracteam exce- 
dentes, 15-13 mm. lati, subglobosi, numerosi. Calyx masc. exiguus, subferru- 
gineo-tomentellus. — A subsimili M. denticulata jam bracteis longe distat. 
Folia primo intuitu fere ut in Malloto Philippinensi. In forma plus minusve 
mutilata, humili, silvarum secundariarum, ramuli magis spinosi et folia pro- 
fundius subsinuato-dentata evadunt. (v. s.)

Mus. paris.) — Baill. Etud. gén. Euphorb. p. 432 (nomen). Frutex 4-metralis 
(Pervill.). Rami teretes, glabri. Stipule minute, ovatae, acute, glabre, cadu- 
cissimz. Petioli 3-4 cm. longi, puberuli, demum glabrati. Limbus foliorum 
T-10 em. longus, 5-9 cm. latus, late elliptico-ovatus, breviter acuminatus, 
basi breviter cuneato-contractus, integer v. inzqualiter subsinuato-dentatus,

nosis luteis obsiti. Stylus quasi latere insertus, arcuatus, carnosus. Semina 
pisiformia, fuscata. Flores masc. ignoti. — Fructu quidem cum M. bouto- 
nioide fere quadrat, sed foliis submembranaceis, styio florendi tempore multo 
breviore et capsulis quasi strato ceraceo tectis bene, etiamsi incomplete nota, 
specifice diversa videtur. (v. s.)
