reticulate below, scarcely raised ; petiole rather stout, 3-3 in. long, 
glabrous ; stipules persistent, lanceolate, acute, up to } in. long, 
membranous, longitudinally striate, glabrous. Receptacles axillary, 
probably in pairs, pedunculate, globose, about 4 in. in diam., marked 
with scattered black spots when dry, shortly whitish-pubescent ; 
peduncle 5-6 lin. long, 3 lin. thick, shortly pubescent. Basal bracts
