While I have compared this with Meliosma squamulata Hance, from 
which it differs notably in its rather’ open panicles, the racemosely ar- 
ranged flowers being distinctly pedicelled, not in glomerules, as well as 
in its different vegetative characters, its true alliance may be with three 
very closely allied species of Indid and southwestern China, M. pungens 
Wall., M. yunnanensis F ranch., and 1. Fischeriana Rehd. & Wils. from 
all of which it differs by its very slender, greatly elongated petioles. 
Normally there are from three to five erect panicles from the tips or from 
near the tips of each ultimate branchlet. The leaves may be entire, or 
with one or two conspicuous sharp teeth on each side in the upper 
one-half.
