- Diagnosis
- Small leaves with a petiole, lamina
narrowly ovate to elliptical, base obtuse to rounded, apex
incomplete, obtuse to probably acute with indistinct mucro.
Leaf margin irregularly flat crenate. Primary vein strong,
secondaries semicraspedodromous, bifurcated in different
places, forming narrow arches with each other and with
intersecondary veins; tertiary veins usually branching
obliquely from the secondary veins and are perpendicular to
the primary vein; fine veinlets entering into the tooth sinus
from the outer vein arches.
