this does not differ from M. indica.

A shrub, more or less hairy ; branches villous, at least at the tips. Leaves 7 by 
34 in., or only half as large, toothed, base rounded or cuneate, villous on both surfaces, 
or sparingly so beneath when young, ultimately glabrescent, primary nerves about 10 
on each side. Facemes rusty-villous or pubescent, or sparingly pilose.— The left-hand 
example in the type sheet of Wall. Cat. 2317 is M. indica, var. Perottetiana, but it 
comes from the same locality as M. dubia ; and, except that it is perfectly glabrous, it 
is hard to say how it differs. 
8. M. argentea, Wall. in Roxb. Fl. Ind. ed. Carey & Wall. ii. 233; 
leaves large ovate-lanceolate more or less hairy when young often white beneath, 
racemes short sparsely pilose or glabrescent, fruits 4-4 in. broad. A. DC. in 
Ann. Se. Nat. 2, xvi. t. 5 B, and Prodr. viii. 81; Brand. For. Fi. 283.

A large shrub; branches hairy, at least at the tips. Leaves 8 by 4 in., narrowed 
at both ends, more or less hairy above, and at least on the midrib beneath, primary 
nerves about 11 on each side, reticulated nerves obscure.  Zlacemes 1-13 in. in fruit, 
usually onee branched.—This species is easily distinguished by the fruits being larger 
than in the other Indian species, 
9. M. macrophylla, Wall. in Roxb. Fl. Ind. ed. Carey & Wall. ii. 234; 
leaves large elliptic or orbicular softly hairy on both surfaces base cordate, 
racemes panicled often as long as the leaves shortly pubescent. .4. DC.

A large shrub, 6-14 ft. ; branches closely pubescent. Leaves 8 by 54 in., obtuse, 
regularly serrate; petiole 1 in. Panicles 5-10 in., axillary and sometimes terminal, 
compound. Fruit 4; in. diam., nearly as of M. indica.

A shrub, 6 ft. (Kurz). Leaves 7) by 2 in., primary nerves 9 on each side, oblique; 
petiole 3-2 in., fulvous-hairy.  Ha«emes hardly as long as the petioles, little divided, 
densely fulvous-hirsute; bracts and bracteoles minute. Fruits, when nearly ripe, 
fulvous-hirsute. Described from Kurz's n. 3002 (named by him M. mollissima, 
Wall., a name not found in Wallich's Herbarium), which agrees closely with authentic 
Javan specimens of M. mollis, but the leaves are rather larger. Kurz’s description of 
M. mollissima, Wall. (For. Fl. ii. 100), does not exactly suit his own example (n.
