mass and evolutionary mass is most pronounced in supergiants. In main  sequence stars it may not be present at all, but see \citet{Hld+08}.  Given that microturbulent velocities are highest in supergiants   (see Fig.~\ref{microlmc}) Fig.~\ref{fig:microlmc})  an empirical correlation between mass discrepancy and microturbulent velocity is to be expected and is   shown in Fig.~\ref{discrepancy} Fig.~\ref{fig:discrepancy}  using data analysed by \citet{Tdh+07} and \citet{Hld+08}. If indeed microturbulence is related to   subsurface convection and supergiants have intrinsically higher  microturbulent velocities than dwarfs (see Section~\ref{results}) potentially  part of the gradient in Fig.~\ref{discrepancy} Fig.~\ref{fig:discrepancy}  may be explained by the effect discussed by \citet{1991ApJ...377L..33H}.
