Diagnosis

Leaflets 65–105 mm long and 17–35 cm wide with 7–20 mm long petiole. Lamina lanceolate and very asymmetrical, with acute apex and base also very asymmetrical and decurrent. Margin toothed, exceptionally undulate (No. BP 97.101.1) except the concave side of asymmetrical leaflets, which is entire margined at the basal part. Teeth obtuse to acute, irregular, coarser at the convex basal part than at the apical part. Venation semicraspedodromous, along entire or undulate margin brochidodromous. Midvein strong, slightly curved, situated always asymmetrically. Secondary veins thin, straight, hardly visible, nearly perpendicular or under wide angles to the midvein.
