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: It's on the ravineward side of the reactor and I believe all the supply systems for it should load at the same time as it on restart.

gollark: You do it. I don't have the game started.

gollark: I don't trust unloading to not do horrible stuff to my reactor.

gollark: Check that the ignition laser is at 2GRF and do it if so.

gollark: Mine too.
