Information
Very similar to M. capensis, but with leaf blades rhombic-ovate to triangular-ovate, more gradually acuminate at the apex, cuneate or rounded at the base, not more than 15 × 10 cm, and generally somewhat glaucous beneath; and with inflorescence axes more obviously zigzag towards the apex, and the distal bracts of the male flowers ± entire.
Habitat
Submontane mixed evergreen forest, in subcanopy and on forest margins, also in gullies by stream sides
Altitude range
2000–2100 m.

Distribution
Malawi S Zomba Mt., st. 22.vi.1961, Chapman 1389 (FHO; MAL).Malawi N Chitipa Distr., Misuku Hills, Mughesse Forest, y. male fl. 28.xii.1972, Pawek 6198 (K; MAL; MO; SRGH; UC).Zambia E Nyika Plateau, Chowo Forest, fr. 9.ix.1976, Pawek 11785 (K; MAL; MO).
Distribution (external)
Sudan
Ethiopia, Zaire (Kivu Province)
Uganda
Kenya
Rwanda
Burundi
Tanzania
Notes
Doubtfully distinct from M. capensis, with which it intergrades.Armitage 33/55 in GHS 53659 (PRE; SRGH) from Zimbabwe (E) and Chase 6837 (K; SRGH) from Mozambique (MS) are intermediate in most respects between the two.However, I have refrained from following Friis & Gilbert (1986) in uniting them since most collections are readily assignable to one or the other.
