The Kow specimens alluded to above have been placed respectively witli 



M. eleutherodacliya, F. Muell., and M. lateriflora var. acutifolia, Benth. ; but 



both these have alternate leaves, an important feature in the o-(.nus. 



Although muc 



h like the last named in habit and 



flo\^cr, the folia ue. 



irrespective of its arrangement, is seen without difficulty to be dissimilar.

Evidently allied to Af. acaciohles, F. Muell., which has broadir, obtuse 

 leaves, a nearly globular calyx, longer stamit.al phalanges of which the claw 

 is much longer than tlie petals, while the filaments attached to each are only 

 5-7 in number.
