The types of the species may confidently be sought among the speeimens 
collected in early days in the Caleutta Gardens. Roxburgh described it 
from a tree growing there which had been raised from seed received from 
Chupra (Bengal) in 1803. He noted that the branches begin to climb when 
1-5 years old. The chief difference between this species and M. auriculata 
forma evtensa lies in the process of inflorescence, the former producing a 
terminal panicle or racemes, one or more together in the axils of leaves, 
while the latter bears large numbers of racemes from the base of lateral 
shoots which afterwards lengthen and produce leaves.
