secondary veins notwell developed; finer veins directly forming unique
small quadrangular or pentagonal areoles. Receptacles obconical, with
lateral surface distinctly striate or rugose; fruits globose or elongate
ovoid; rhizomes having distinct nodes and internodes and nodes
bearing adventitious roots. Epidermal cells of leaves polygonal, while
the epidermal cells of tubers regular in shape and usually polygonal or
elongate.
