- Diagnosis
- Toothed leaves or leaflets. Venation craspedodromous to
semicraspedodromous. Teeth glandular, not spinose, typically
two per secondary vein. Stomatal alignment random, stomata not
clearly within areoles. Abaxial outer cuticle surface prominently
ornamented with striations. Annular trichome bases associated
with numerous thickened epidermal cells frequent on both leaf
surfaces. Inner cuticle surfaces granular. Epidermal-cell
anticlinal-wall cuticle tightly sinuous, commonly irregularly
thickened and buttressed.
