- Diagnosis
- Leaves pinnately lobed. Venation within lobes brochidodromous.
Stomatal alignment random, stomata not clearly within areoles.
Subsidiary cells typically narrow, but with further epidermal cells
lateral to each subsidiary cell. Stomatal complexes rarely not
brachyparacytic. Trichome bases associated with two to eight
epidermal cells uncommon on both leaf surfaces. Outer cuticle
surfaces not striated, inner surfaces granular. Inner abaxial
epidermal cell anticlinal wall cuticle flanged, buttressed.
Adaxial walls straighter, not buttressed.
