- Diagnosis
- Distal part of a folded leaf, apex short acuminate, marginal veins 8 to 10
in number forming a broad marginal zone 3.5 to 6 mm wide; inner veins of leaf parallel, 0.5 to 0.8 mm apart, turning upward, becoming less regular, and converging into a smaller number of veins toward the margin; these inner veins converge with the inner marginal veins. A thin intermediate, subparallel vein runs between each of the inner veins and is connected to them by oblique cross veins. Leaf texture probably chartaceous.
