- Diagnosis
- Leaf large (holotype 70 mm wide), oblong, tapered
to the base, margins subparallel for a considerable length, irregularly
undulate. Petiole stout, extended into the blade as a prominent midrib. Secondary veins slender, dense, straight, parallel, acutely scalloped
before the margin. Intersecondary veins between each pair of secondaries,
slightly weaker than the latter, undulate. Intramarginal vein indistinct,
running close to the margin. Tertiary areoles elongate to fusiform, aligned
with the secondaries, pointed, cut into series of short rectangles closer to
the midrib, mostly filled with a branching blind veinlet.
