Not to be carried away by this specimen of M. kauki from Wallich's Catalogue. It has been clearly written on page 449 of volume 3 of Flora of British India that plant appearing as M. kauki is actually M. hexandra. Wallich had in fact mixed up the two species. As per the information available on the net and link provided by Yazdi ji our plant above should be M. kauki: perhaps the only species among the above discussed with leaves clustered towards apex of branch and white-tomentose lower leaf side (this is more important).
