Bentham and Hooker apparently published this species independently, but 
under the same name and with the same (Fiteh’s) plate. Many plates were 
prepared about 1848-9 from West African material in the Kew Herbarium 
for publication in the ‘Icones, and the name M. macrophylla was doubtless 
in MS. on the type specimens. 
Taubert apparently thought that Bentham’s and Hookers M. macro- 
phylla were different plants, and therefore distinguished the latter as 
M. Hookeriana.
