- Simple, leaf centrally peltate, lamina orbiculate, margin entire or slightly
sinuous, centrally positioned petiole. Primary venation actinodromous, bifurcating at least
once and forming festooned brochidodromous arches; interior secondary veins intercalated
with the primary veins; tertiary veins emerging from the primary veins, opposite percurrent,
with sinus and straight course; quaternary venation reticulate; areolation is predominantly
six-sided; marginal ultimate venation looped. Receptacles are obconical, with globose or
elongated ovoid fruits.
