A small resinous tree; branchlets very stout, glaucous, tips rusty-tomentose. 
Leaves 5-8 in. diam., coriaceous or thin, glabrous above except the pubescent nerves, 
and eglandular at the rounded base, beneath finely pubescent or glabrate and gland- 
dotted with 6-8 pairs of strong nerves above the basal, and strong cross-nervules ; 
petiole 3—6 in., glabrous or puberulous ; stipules ovate- or oblong-lanceolate, not broad, 
tomentose.  Panicles densely rusty-tomentose, or the branches nearly glabrous; 
bracts at the axils and tases of the terminal branches very broad and often veined, 
floral hemispheric; flowers 2, in. diam. Fem. panicles simpler, branches racemose 
with larger bracts; calyx-limb obsolete; ovary densely glandular, glabrous or pu- 
berulous ; stigma sessile often embracing one side of the ovary, thickly papillose. 
Capsule globose, 1—3 in. diam. Seed globose; testa brown, erustaceous, rough. — 
Wight’s figure of M. Roxburghii, t. 1949, f. iv., is a reproduction of the right-hand 
figure of his t. 817, which is itself a copy of Roxburgh’s drawing of Osyris ? peltata. 
Of this the figure in question is intended to represent a portion of a male panicle ; it 
is very badly done.
