across the top, entire, chartaceous or rigidly subcoriaceous, glabrous 
and mostly somewhat dull on both surfaces; margins recurved; 
midrib prominent below, convex, abruptly two or three times divided 
about a third of its length from the apex, when thrice divided then 
the third division continuing the midrib towards the apex of the leaf 
but much fainter and usually again branched ; lateral nerves 4-7 on 
each side, arising from the midrib at an angle of from 45°-65°, 
looped, the loops forming a wavy line parallel with and about 1 lin. 
from the margin; tertiary nerves and veins rather lax, distinct 
below; petiole }-3 in. long, 3-3 lin. thick, glabrous; stipules

pore-like, gaping ; bracts all descending into the receptacle, glabrous. 
Male flowers with a solitary stamen. Female flowers numerous, 
sessile ; perianth cupular, 3-lobed, lobes triangular, acute, mem
