The present species, which extends the distribution of the genus 
northwards into Burma, is readily distinguishable from those just mentioned. 
W. triquetra, W. Scortechinii and W. Kunstlcri are trees, the two latter at 
least 20 metres high, while W. Mansoni is a shrub. W. meliosmaefolia is 
described as a small tree, and W. pulchella as a shrub. The former differs 
from W. Mansoni in having 12 carpels, the latter in having obvate-oblong 
entire leaves with only 5—7 pairs of nerves.
