Calycis tubus turbinatus, dentibus brevibus; calyx totus 4 mm. longus. Petala 
acuminata, +7 mm. longa. Staminum connectivum antice calcaratum. 
Camp VI 5, 3900 ft. 
The leaves are ovate, acuminate and opposite, and generally, but not invariably, 
longer than the internodes. The flowers are solitary, or rarely in twos, on slender 
pedicels, often about $ the length ofthe leaf. The petals are acuminate, and the stamens |

In the type of this species (Cuming No. 753 from the Philippines) the leaves are 
rather longer, and the flowers in 2-6-flowered cymes.

An epiphyte with opposite leaves, thus differing from M. quintuplinervia, Cogn., in 
which the leaves are quaternate. The flowers are generally 2-6 in a fascicle, with 
slender pedicels. The calyx-tube and calyx-limb in the dried specimens are much 
wrinkled or verrucose. 
Allied to M. laurifolia, Blume.

This species is allied to M. megacalya, Merr., M. fasciculata, Cogn., and M. macrocarpa, 
Blume, but the leaves are opposite and not verticilate. It is also allied to Medinilla 
Whitfordii, Merr. (Carionia triplinervia, Rolfe) from the Philippines. 
The leaves are glaucous above, and pale green below. The flowers are Lia
