- Diagnosis
- Leaf very narrow elliptic, sparsely toothed. Cuticle very thick, stomates large (about
45 μm long), quite elongate with prominent T-pieces at the poles of the guard cells, many
aligned parallel to long axis of leaf. Cuticle over subsidiary cell regions often thickly
rugulate. Inner abaxial cuticular surface markedly granular. Epidermis composed of small,
roughly isodiametric cells, with sinuous, unevenly thickened or buttressed, anticlinal walls.
Trichome bases on adaxial surface associated with two to six epidermal cells, and on abaxial
surface probably one or two.
