nearly lateral.—I have seen no fem. fl. or fruit of this apparently very distinct 
species, which ditfers from M. Tokbrai in the much larger thickly coriaceous leaves, 
short not viscid male cymes, very much larger male flowers and globose perianth. 
Kurz describes the capsule as almost globose, 2-3-coccous, about 1-14 in. diam., brown, 
glossy, fibrous-woody ; and seeds as purple, covered with a thick spurious ar 
The Perak plant has shorter petioles, larger leaves with 6 pairs of nerves above the 
basal, and larger flowers than the Tenasserim ones, and may be a different species.
