longitudinally rugulate, and over normal abaxial epidermal cells bumpy. Inner, abaxial
cuticle surface markedly granular. Adaxial surface with some development of ropy striations,
particularly over veins, epidermal cells small, thick-walled. Trichome bases on both surfaces,
usually associated with two to four epidermal cells.
