Prain states that M. glabrum Desf. (M. latisiliquum Merr.) has 
alternate pinnules, equal at the base. I think that it is doubtfully 
distinct, but have seen no specimens. 
Also in Burma.

As the last species, but stems densely pubescent; pinnz 
and the leaflets opposite (?or alternate); main rachis more 
thickly set with thorns; leaflets smaller, densely pubescent 
beneath; pods not seen.

Also in India and Malaya. 
Prain refers a specimen distributed by Thwaites as Cesalpinia 
Gleinei to M. hymenocarpum W. & A. which has alternate leaflets, and 
pods with remote seeds.
