brevi tractu, interrupte spinuloso-dentatis et dentium impres- 
sionibus notata; marginibus valide, crebreque serrato-dentatis, 
dentibus acutis, patentibus, apicem versus brevissimis sed cre- 
rerrimis; costa media valde prominenti et acute trigona, basins

loculis numerosis parvis, brevissimis, a sulcis rugosis, con- 
fusis separatis. Stigmata latiuscula, rotundato-cordata, sub- 
hippocrepiformia, horizontalia. Mesocarpium superum, spong- 
ioso-fibrosum, 12 mill. spissum; endocarpium osseum, in parte
