stellate hairs on the lower surface, the base very broadly trun- 
cate-rounded, with two stipitate glands, 5-nerved, the apex 
sharply acuminate, the margins distinctly crenate-serrate; lat- 
eral nerves above the base 2 or 3 on each side of the midrib, 
reticulations lax; petioles 1.5 cm long; stipules linear, 5 mm long. 
Raceme terminal, simple, erect, nearly glabrous, about 12 cm 
long, many-flowered. Flowers white, mostly staminate, a few 
pistillate ones near the base of the raceme. Staminate flowers
