The female flowers are described from a specimen collected by Lobb at Singapur, 

 which has all the appearance of belonging to this species; and the young fruit is in 

 the Wallichian Herbarium, but detached.

this is larger-flowered than M. amygdaJin.a, the only species with which it is liable 

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

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

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

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

 character be found to be a variable one.
