- Diagnosis
- Leaves small peltate on slender centrally inserted
petiole. Leaf blade filmy, circular, with a prominently central disk.
Primary veins numerous, radiating from the point of petiole insertion,
forking at various distances from the base, distal branches looping before
the margin. Secondary veins interstitial between each pair of primary
veins, anastomosing with the latter, forming large angular areoles filled
with tertiary venation.
