punctate glandular beneath, nerves 9 to 11 pairs, oblique, 
parallel, submarginally united, quite evident beneath, the 
midvein very prominent beneath, brown and also glandular

obtuse, base rounded, not auricled, oblong or the smaller 
ones oblanceolate, the normal ones 2 dm. long by 7 cm. 
wide, glabrous on both sides; petiole ‘very thick, about 5 mm. 
long. caniculate along the upper side; nerves 13 to 19 pairs, 
straight, oblique, parallel, united at their ends forming 4
