This is larger-flowered tban 31. aunjgdalina, the only species with which it is liable 

 to be confounded, and it seems quite distinct, though, as in most of the allied spent s, 

 only the male flowers and fruit are known. The fruit is very like that of M. amyg- 

 dalina, with which it agrees in having a deeply excavated mark on one suture near 

 the base. The undivided arillus, however, will readily distinguish it, unless that 

 character be found to be a variable one.
