This species difiers very little from Jf. fuscescens. It has, how- 
tver^ a less pubescent inflorescence, three petals ure olten present in thei 
flowers and the fruifc is slinrply 3-angled. The young braucbes in this 
are pnberaloaa whereas tlioso of M. fmcescens are quite glabrous. 
The fruit of this while young is sharply 3-aogled ; but as ift 
ripens the angles become obliterated and it closely resembles that of 
Jf. f^nmaframts and If. fnsccscens. This species may, however, bo dis- 
tinguished fi^oni these by ita smaller leaflets witli fewer nerves.

30 to 50 feet high : all parts except the itifloi-escence glabrous. Leaves 
5 to 12 in. long, with angled rachises : leaflets 4 to 8, elliptic-oblong, 
Bub-acmninate, the base cuneate, both surfaces minutely reticulate 'and 
shining ; main nerves D to 12 paira, curved, the secondaiy almost na 
prominent ; length 4 to 8 in., breadth 1*15 to 2*25 in., petiolules '2 
to "25 in* Panicles as in M, fuscescem. Petals 0, Fntit pyriform, '3 iu. 
in diam,, not augled? pseudo-stalk shorter than the fruib and also than

This is very closely allied to M. fuscesceus which differs in having 5 
minute cadacous petals. In all other respects the two agree ; and, in 
niy own opinion they ought not both to mnk as species. I keep both 
up bowevei' out of deference to Radlkofer whose monograph is a signal 
example of careful work.
