In the absence of leaves and fruit, determination must be uncertain ; but 
_ in the shape and size of calyx, approximate measurements, and form of floral 
parts, with the number of ovules (5), my plant agrees with M. Kraetkei Warb. 
Warburg does not describe the inflorescence, beyond stating that it occurs 
often on the old wood; in that case bunches of shortish racemes, 5-17 dm. 
long, spring irregularly from the old wood, which is lenticellose. When 
the inflorescence is on young wood the recemes are long and single, as in 
Versteeg’s 403 Herb. Kew.
