Leaves ovate, slightly cordate at the base, rounded at the apex, 
5-84 in. long, 34-5 in. broad, entire, rigidly coriaceous, dull and 
glabrous on both surfaces ; midrib flat above, very prominent below, 
about 2 lin. broad at the base, gradually tapered to and divided below 
the apex of the lamina; lateral nerves about 8 on each side of the 
midrib, diverging from it at an angle of 55°-70°, inconspicuous 
above, very prominent and thick bilow, looped some distance from 
the margin; tertiary nerves and veins slender and rather incon-
