- Diagnosis
- Leaf small, simple, unlobed, broadly
obovate or broadly elliptic, asymmetric, entire-margined.
Leaf base broadly cuneate or broadly round,
slightly decurrent, symmetric, leaf apex mucronate.
Venation pinnate brochidodromous. Midvein stout,
straight, terminating at leaf apex and rapidly narrowing
towards it. 7-10 pairs of very narrow secondary
veins emerging from the midvein, secondary veins
simple, straight or slightly upwards-curving, connecting
to the upper secondary vein and forming loops
along and very close to the leaf margin. Distal parts of
the secondary veins suggest a very thin intramarginal
vein situated close to the leaf margin.
