  • Abstract : M. peekelii has 10 pairs of chromosomes and is of special interest because it extends our knowledge of the little-known section Australimusa. Its affinities with M. textilis Née are obvious in the field, though it is a very distinct plant and has not (so far as our material is concerned) a useful fibre.
