Mitrephora maingayi is a species of plant in the family Annonaceae. It is native to Bangladesh, Borneo, Cambodia, Laos, Peninsular Malaysia, Myanmar, Sumatra, and Vietnam.[1] Joseph Hooker and Thomas Thomson, the British botanists who first formally described the species, named it in honor of Alexander Carroll Maingay, the British botanist who collected the specimen they examined.

Description

It is a tree. Its leaves are 3-7 by 1.25-2.5 inches and come to a point at their tips. The leaves are smooth and shiny on their upper surfaces. Its petioles are 0.25-0.5 inches long. Its pendulous flowers are yellow with red highlights. Its flowers have 3 brown sepals that are covered in dense wooly hair.[2]

Reproductive biology

Using the synonymous name, Mitrephora teysmannii, Yunyun Shao and Fengxia Xu report that the pollen of M. maingayi is shed as permanent tetrads.[3]

gollark: But this is wrong™, because that stuff lets you focus on the LOGIC and not the boilerplate.

gollark: Go advocates, who are wrong, claim that stuff like not having iterators makes it easier to understand code.

gollark: I think often it's beneficial to be able to write stuff neatly and elegantly without having to explicitly write everything.

gollark: Well, macros are useful for stuff like println.

gollark: You can even have procedural macros.
