- Diagnosis
- Leaves small to large, obovate, simple, trilobate,
often asymmetric, entire-margined, petiolate.
Leaf base narrowly cuneate, never peltate, apex acute
to slightly attenuate. Two lateral lobes in the upper
part of a leaf triangular, with acute to attenuate apices.
Venation palmately-pinnate brochidodromous
with strong basal veins emerging from the leaf base.
Suprabasal secondary veins rare, brochidodromous,
obliquely emerging from primary veins at an angle
of 20° or less and curving upwards. Tertiary veins
percurrent or ramified-percurrent, quaternary veins
percurrent to orthogonal-reticulate, tertiary venation
near leaf margin looped.
