Description

From Hollick (1930) (p. 87)

"Leaf large, about 20 centimeters in length by about 12 centimeters in width at a distance of 14 centimeters from the base, obovate, apparently asymmetric; margin entire, undulate, at least in the lower part; midrib curved; secondary nerves four or more on each side. irregularly disposed, widely spaced, flexuous, ascending at acute angles of divergence from the midrib, lower two subopposite, suprabasilar, with numerous widely spaced, flexuous branches on the under sides that curve irregularly upward and finally thin out and
disappear along the margin; basilar veinlets prominent, the upper ones curving upward, the lower ones horizontal."


Remarks

From Hollick (1930) (p. 87)

"This leaf, in its perfect form, was apparently larger on one side than on the other, turned to one side in its upper part, and had the secondary nerves arranged differently on opposite sides of the midrib. The indications are that the base was truncate, after the manner characteristic of other species of the genus."
