- Diagnosis
- Leaf elliptical flat-petiolate. Venation acrodromous
of three orders, in the basal part of leaf blade flabellate, with peripheral
veins running into the margin. Median veins widely spaced, occasionally
forking, peripheral veins denser, running into the margin in the basal part
of the leaf. Secondary veins solitary between each pair of primary veins,
much weaker than the latter. Cross-veins orthogonal.
