Inflorescence and flowers are almost exactly as in Rh. succedanea, except that the 
panicles are shorter and the anthers almost sessile. The leaves are simple, without any 
trace of articulation, and exhibit a type of nervation similar to that in Rh. succedaneo ; 
the venules, however, are less distinct, probably in consequence of the greater thickness 
of the leaves.
