Description

From Hollick (1930) (p. 108)

"Plate 83, Figure 5"

"Leaf ovate, with a broad, auriculate-cordate base; nervation pinnate tripalmate; lateral primaries apparently suprabasilar, subopposite, branched on the under sides; secondary nerves pinnately arranged in four or more subparallel, ascending, opposite or subopposite
pairs; tertiary nervation at right angles to the secondaries, almost straight, forming quadrangular areolae."

 

Remarks

From Hollick (1930) (p. 108)

"This leaf apparently belongs in the same genus with the species last described, although it is almost equally suggestive of the genus Cissus. The character of the base where it joins the petiole is not well defined, but there is an obscure indication of overlapping, in which case only the upper lateral primary would be suprabasilar."
