Notes

subsp. vulcanica is the only subspecies of M. lepidota in which normal terminal panicles have been found. In general habit it is more similar to certain forms of subsp. longipes from Vietnam than to subsp. squamulata (HANCE) BEUS. from Taiwan or to subsp. kinabaluensis from Borneo, to which it is obviously less closely related.
