The leaflets in this, as in Javan specimens, are often acutely acu- 

 minate, and from 9 to 13 in number. They are glabrate, or perfectly 

 glabrous, except when young. The fruit is oval and about 4 lines 

 long.

"A shrub 4 to 10 feet high." — This is very closely related to 

 Blume's M. pubescens; from which it is to be distinguished mainly by 

 its smaller flowers (only a line and a half in length), and its oblong 

 fruit, which when full grown is half an inch in length. Mr. Bentham 

 seems not to have been aware that it is the Limonia minuta of Forster, 

 who found it at the Friendly Islands.
