Diagnosis

Large lanceolate leaf with serrate margins in the apical part, broad at the middle with straight margins gradually tapering into a narrow base. Teeth widely spaced (ca. 2 teeth/cm), asymmetrical and with irregular arrangement. Broad midvein divided into a spray of separate veins in the leaf apex. Oblique lateral veins arise in very acute angle from midrib, curve slightly, dividing twice to thrice, reaching the margin in acute angle. Vein density 10–12 veins/cm on the leaf margin.
