 many, ascending, obovately elliptic, rigidly chartaceous, entire, 

 flat, apex broadly rounded or occasionally notched, base 

 round or more commonly obtuse, glabrous, deep green on 

 the upper side though brown when dry, beneath glaucous 

 or chalky white, the larger ones 4 cm. long but usually 

 averaging only 3 cm. in length and 2 cm. in width above 

 the middle, frequently only one half as large as the average 

 ones; midrib stout and flattened toward the blackened base, 

 caniculate on the upper surface; lateral nerves contiguous, 

 ascending and only slightly curved, more evident from be-
