Notes:
putative hybrid between M. divaricata and M. sp. nov. Leaves slightly smaller than usual for M. sp. nov., leaves absent from branchlet tips, leaves with a black blotch at the base. Some leaves with a distinct M. divaricata shape. M. divaricata occurs in the same general area as M. sp. nov. but is not as common and usually does not occur in great numbers among the M. sp. nov. plants.
