- Diagnosis
- Leaves pinnately compound, leaflets sessile,
opposite, small, simple, unlobed, narrowly ovate,
narrowly elliptic or elliptic, symmetric or asymmetric,
with a serrate margin. Leaflet base cordate or auriculate,
usually asymmetric, apex broadly acute. Marginal
teeth very small, simple, triangular, with acute
apices. Venation pinnate brochidodromous. Midvein
stout and straight, numerous secondary veins very
narrow, simple, emerging from the midvein at an
angle of 45-90°, curving upwards, connecting to
the upper secondary vein and forming loops. Tertiary
veins very thin, ramified-percurrent to reticulate,
higher order venation reticulate.
