A very variable tree both in height, size of leaves and flowers, and im 
length of pedicel. Like M. jerruginea, the deciduous pubescence of its 
leaves changes its appearance as the season advances. Its flowers appear 
with the young leaves. Tt appears to range over the whole of German East 
Africa from Amani to Kondeland, especially the mountainous portions, in 
which it reaches an altitude of 1300 m.
