It can be recognized by a combination of ovate leaves with margins and apices that are conspicuously revolute, rectangular petioles 0.1–0.2 mm long, adaxial foliar surfaces that are smooth and glabrous to sparsely glandular-punctate, hypanthia densely glandular-punctate and covered with a few scattered eglandular trichomes 0.3–0.7 mm long that are concentrated only at the torus, dimorphic stamens with polysporangiate anthers and 3–4-locular ovaries. We provide line drawings, photographs, comments on the distribution <em>M. goldenbergii</em> and four putative relatives (<em>M. restingae</em>, <em>M. subsetosa</em>,<em> M. confertiflora</em> and <em>M. cordata</em>), and a distributional map.</p> ER -
