Notes.

The arrangement of leaflets for which this species is named (i.e. the basal-most pair of leaflets inserted just above petiole and separated from terminal pair of leaflets by a relatively long rachis) is unusual amongst the species that were formerly included in Maniltoa ; however some species of Cynometra have a similar arrangement (e.g. Cynometra sakalava Du Puy & R.Rabev from Madagascar).
