- Diagnosis
- Leaves peltate, small or medium, simple,
unlobed, elliptic (suborbiculate) to round (orbiculate), symmetric, entire-margined, slightly funnel-shaped
near the region of the petiole attachment. Leaf
base shallow cordate or round, apex round. Petiole
attaching to the leaf lamina in its central part. Venation
bisymmetrical actinodromous, 11 to 15 primary
veins going from the place of the petiole attachment
radially, bifurcating, forming, together with tertiary
veins, a series of polygonal loops towards leaf margin.
The central primary vein going to leaf apex forks and
does not reach leaf margin, the central primary vein
going to leaf base extends nearly to the leaf margin.
Third to sixth order venation orthogonal-reticulate.
Small round to polygonal cells on leaf surface represent
aerenchyma imprints.
