Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture

Musanga (W. African name). Moraceae. One W. Trop. African tree allied to Cecropia, recommended abroad as shade in cocoa and coffee plantations and also as an ornamental foliage plant: lvs. large, alternate, long-petioled, peltate, divided into 11-15 entire segms.: panicle of small male fls. solitary in axils, of the female twin in the axils. M. cecropioides, Br. (M. Smithii, R. Br., not Benth.). is described by Hiern as "a very elegant tree, 12-15 ft. high, branched a little above the base, with a broad head and good wood suitable for house-building: lvs. digitate; lfts. 6, 1-1 ½ ft. long; common petiole more than 7 in. long. (M. Smithii, Benth, Niger Fl. Macaranga heterophylla, Muell. Arg., a plant apparently not cult.)
