M. serratus. In M. Talbotii, a new species which has been sent 
y Mr. and Mrs. P. Amaury Talbot from several localities in 
Southern Nigeria, we know only the most highly developed leaf- 
form, the leaves having 5 to 8 distinctly stalked leaflets. 
two species described below are both included in the 
superne ciliolatis. Perianthiwm ad basin 4-sectum, segmentis 
apice latioribus, obtusis, crassiusculis et concavis, dorso ciliolatis, 
usque ad basin angustati Stamina 3-4, filamentis connatis. 
Planta femina haud cognita.

Allied to the two West African species, M. serratus and 
M. cuneifolius, which it resembles in leaf characters, but is dis- 
tinguished by the larger male inflorescence with slender branches 
and small more or less distinct clusters of flowers on the ultimate 
branchlets.
