The ripe achenes of this species differ considerably from the 
nearly ripe ones that we have seen of M. cymosa, Prain; but in 
inflorescence and floral characters the two species are very 
similar, especially in the stamens and the two peculiar thickened 
lobes or processes on the edge of the galea.
