- Leaves ribbon-shaped, flat, keel-less, parallel-sided,
about 10 mm wide. Primary veins thick, about 1 mm apart. Secondary
veins slightly weaker, distinct, typically one, occasionally two between
each pair of primaries. Tertiary veins much weaker, sometimes discontinuous, one or two per intercostal zone. Cross-veins oblique, occasionally at
right angle to longitudinal veins, percurrent for short distance, displaced
at crossing a primary vein.
