According to Gage, I.e., 31. stipulata is 

 common and conspicuous trees in the fairly open deciduous 

 forest covering the Nwamadaung range, in the Minbu district of 

 Upper Burma. Kurz states that it is ^rather rare in the open 

 and the drier upper mixed forests of the Pegu Tomah and Marta- 

 ban, as far down as Rangoon ; also Ava." The type of Spathodea 

 velutina, Kurz, is not at Kew, but, -judging from the description, 

 it seems hardly separable from M. stipulata , even as a variety.

A well-marked variety, or possibly a distinct species. As noted 

 by Craib, the indumentum of the capsule resembles that of M. 

 cauda- felina, but the capsule is broader, the seeds are larger and 

 the flowers smaller than in that species.
