above and raised beneath, cross-nervules irregularly anastomosing ; base subequal, 
rounded acute or subcordate ; petiole 3 in., slender; stipules triangular. Male fl. ; 
outer sepals and pedicels puberulous, inner glabrous ; connective free, short. Fem.jt.

a higher elevation than any other of the genus.
