- Diagnosis
- Leaf blade obovate, with rounded,
often slightly asymmetrical base and obtuse apex. Leaf
toothed in its upper half and entire-margined in lower
part. Large, obtuse teeth develop at endings of secondary
veins. Basiscopic veins end camptodromously.
Basal veins naked basally (up to 2-3 mm), as thick as
lower pair of secondary veins, reach about one half of
leaf blade. Secondary veins in points of their attachment
to the midvein form characteristic thickenings.
