- Diagnosis
- The basal half of a slightly elliptic lamina, base ? acute, petiole not preserved, leaf margin entire, midvein straight, secondaries hardly visible, higher venation not discernible. Adaxial cuticle (Pl. 10, fi g. 8): medium thick, glabrous, size of non-modifi ed epidermal cells 23–44 μm (33 μm), anticlines U-shaped undulate, about 1 μm thick. Abaxial cuticle (Pl. 10, fi g. 7): medium thick, glabrous; stomatal complexes brachyparacytic with very narrow lateral subsidiary cells, stomata roundish and densely spaced, 21–26 μm (23 μm) long, 22–24 μm (23 μm) wide, guard cells more intensively staining than all other cells because the outer cuticular ledges surrounding the stomatal aperture are thick but only indistinctly differentiated from the remainding cuticle above the guard cells, and the epidermal wall of the guard cells is thick as well, stomatal aperture small and roundish, 7–10 μm (9 μm) long, polar T-shaped thickenings developed; size of non-modifi ed epidermal cells 23–40 μm (30 μm), anticlines U-shaped undulate, about 1 μm thick.
