The updateXML and values is send as forms data and it looks like this:

updateXML

<r>
	<metatree_definition fieldId="MetaDataUpdate0">
		<item_metafield_labelid fieldId="item_metafield_labelid"/>
		<prevref fieldId="prevref"/>
		<sortindex fieldId="sortindex"/>
		<treevalue fieldId="treevalue"/>
		<optionvalue fieldId="optionvalue"/>
		<showcheck fieldId="showcheck"/>
		<ispublic fieldId="ispublic"/>
		<visible fieldId="visible"/>
	</metatree_definition>
</r>

values

[{
	"Id": "MetaDataUpdate0",
	"FieldId": "MetaDataUpdate0",
	"ContainerType": 1,
	"RowId": 1,
	"Values": [{
		"FieldId": "item_metafield_labelid",
		"Type": 3,
		"Values": [51426]
	},
	{
		"FieldId": "prevref",
		"Type": 3,
		"Values": [0]
	},
	{
		"FieldId": "sortindex",
		"Type": 3,
		"Values": [0]
	},
	{
		"FieldId": "treevalue",
		"Type": 1,
		"Values": ["test 2"]
	},
	{
		"FieldId": "optionvalue",
		"Type": 1,
		"Values": ["b9491155-7d9a-43cd-a534-8768aa91a106"]
	},
	{
		"FieldId": "showcheck",
		"Type": 2,
		"Values": [true]
	},
	{
		"FieldId": "ispublic",
		"Type": 2,
		"Values": [true]
	},
	{
		"FieldId": "visible",
		"Type": 2,
		"Values": [true]
	}],
	"BaseId": 0
}]

NOTE: The important parts to change in this example is the treevalue which refers to the name of the treevalue, the optionvalue which refers to a unique id for it (it may be the same as the name) and the item_metafield_labelid which refers to the language versioned tree on which the value should be created. Furthermore, prevref is the reference to the parent.
