- Diagnosis
- Leaves obovate, subsessile, frequently somewhat inequilateral, rounded at the apex or broadly angled, narrowly cuneate to slightly decurrent at the base. Margins entire. Texture coriaceous but not excessively thickened. Length, about 6 centimeters. Maximum width, at or above the middle, about 2.5 centimeters. Midvein unusually stout and prominent, expanding at
the base. Secondaries, about 6 pairs, stout, not very regularly spaced; they diverge from the midvein at an angle of about 35 degrees, ascending in more or less subparallel curves, eventually camptodrome. Tertiaries immersed in the leaf substance.
