M. glabriflora, sp. nov. 
rbuscula, ramulis novellis elas mox glabris; foliis trifoliolatis petio- 
latis, foliolis submembranaceis lanceolatis vel ovato-lanceolatis su 
parvis glabris, sepalis ovatis obtusis, petalis elliptico-oblongis, antheris cordato- 
ovatis, filamentis complanatis; carpidiis subglobosis, valvis intus transverse 
costatis et valde reticulatis, seminibus nigris nitidis ovatis. 
A large shrub or small tree. Branchlets terete. Young 
acuminate, primary veins alone prominent, looping at some distance 
within the margin, 24-4 in. (6-5-10 em.) long ; lateral leaflets oblique at 
the base, on petiolules of 1-2 lines (2-4 mm.), the terminal one narrowed 
into a much longer petiolule. Panicles axillary, much shorter than the 
petiole. Pedicels 13-2 lines (3-4 mm.) long. Flowers small, glabrous 
in all parts. Sepals broadly ovate, obtuse. Petals elliptic-oblong, twice 
or thrice as long as the sepals, 14-2 lines (3-4 mm.) long. Stamens 8, 
much shorter than the petals ; anthers cordate-ovate ; filaments flat- 
tened, dilated in lower part. Ovary 4-lobed. Style nearly 1 line 
(2 mm.) long. Fruit glabrous, cocci 4, but not all maturing, obliquely 
suborbicular ; valves rather thin, crustaceous, very prominently 
transversely veined and reticulate on inner surface ; endocarp char- 
taceous. Seeds black and shining, ovate, 3 lines (6 mm.) long. 
Hab: Near Atherton, C. T. White. 
Very similar in general appearance to M. Broadbentiana, Bail., 
but differs het that species in the midrib and lateral veins on the under 
surface of the leaf being clothed with rather long somewhat strigose 
hairs, and in the filaments being comparatively shorter and not hairy 
in the lower half.
