Hi Tim, you're right - I've looked it up on Google and this is what it says about the Makamaka:
Very similar to juvenile foliage of Weinmannia silvicola but can be distinguished by the domatia on the underside of the leaves. These domatia are known as tuft pocket domatia and occur at the junction of the mid-rib and the side vein where there is a pocket of hairs. Makamaka also has huge prominent stipules that are large, green and heavily veined.
That's good to know - thank you.
I'll change my notes now.
Many thanks
