- Diagnosis
- Leaves large, simple, unlobed, probably elliptic, symmetric, with a serrate margin. Leaf apex
narrow acute. Leaf margin serrate, marginal teeth
small, simple, triangular, curving upwards, with
acute apices. Venation pinnate brochidodromous,
with distinct intramarginal vein and sometimes intersecondary
veins. Midvein strong and straight, secondary
veins numerous, emerging from the midvein at
an angle of 60-90°, thin, simple, curving upwards,
connecting with the upper secondary vein and forming
loops approximately half-way to the leaf margin.
From these loops, thin and nearly-straight branches
run towards the leaf margin and join a very thin intramarginal
vein situated close to the leaf margin. From
the intramarginal vein short thin branches go to the
marginal teeth. Tertiary veins are very thin, percurrent
to ramified-percurrent.
