Although the limb of this singular plant is entire, it is very evidently 
made up of five pieces, not exactly by the union of their margins, but 
by the interjection, as it were, of triangular pieces, so as to unite the 
opposite margins. Each of the five pieces is indicated by parallel 
veins and lines of hairs on the back. Each piece has three veins, there 
being six close together in the upper part of the limb, and two lines of 
hairs indicating the two parts of an upper lip: the same marks are 
visible on the lower side of the limb, at greater distances from each 
- other, indicating three divisions, the middle one being furnished with 
a line of hairs both outside and inside. The estivation is decidedly 
plicate, and not contorted,
