- Leaves lanceolate, 7.4 cm long and 2 cm wide in the middle, widest part; leaf base pointedcuneate, descending onto a long (2 cm) petiole; apex acute. Midvein strong; it is lost before reaching the upper edge of the apex; from it, 10–11 pairs of secondary veins, thin, almost invisible, departing alternately, at an angle of 40–45°, located at uneven intervals; straight or slightly curved, go to the leaf margin. Secondary veins anastomose with each other several times at the leaf margin.
