tooth-like lobes at the upper end of the broader side, the real 
apical portion irregularly toothed along its edges, curing 
unequally brown on the sides, the average ones 8 cm long 
by one half as wide across the widest portion; midrib near- 
ly straight from the base to the apex, quite prominent and 
densely fuligineus scurfy beneath, with a pair of lateral 
nerves arising a few mm above the base and extending al- 
most to the middle of the blade; the other lateral nerves 
: 8 to 5 and alternating, the lower one from below the mid- 
dle of the blade, much ascending, nearly straight, few branch- 
ed toward their ends, the main ones terminating into the 
larger teeth, reticulation coarse and very obscure; petioles 
5 mm long or nearly twice as long in the lower or old 
ones, scurfy brown; stipular bracts very pale or yellowish 
green, brown when dry, 1 to 1.5 cm long, caducous, ob- 
long and mucronately pointed. Flowers opposite the uppermost 
leaves; stalk 5 mm long in the fruiting state, subtended by 
similar bracts, bearing 1 to 3 flowers toward the distal ends; 
pedicels angular, when old 7.5 mm long, glabrous when old, 
straw brown, striate, articulate at the base and subtended 
by caducous bracteoles; segments of staminate flowers 2, 
broadly ovate and erect in the bud state, ultimately spread- 
ing and exposing the stamens, shallowly cordate at the base, 
6 mm long and 6 mm wide toward the base, hyaline and 
with a shade of red; staminate cluster yellowish, elongated, 
5 mm in length, with 15 to 20 stamens; filament at most 
1 mm long, reddish brown, glabrous; anthers 1.33 mm long, 
0.66 mm wide, compressed, oblong, also reddish brown, 
rounded at the apex and occasionally indented, base obtuse, 
cells opening along the edges; styles 3, deep brown and 
flattened, glabrous, 1.5 mm long, united at the base; stigma 
forked; each fork as long as the style and also compressed, 
much curved and twisted, the pulverulent stigmatic edge 
deeper reddish brown; the style subtended by a whorl of 3 
“nearly equal perianth lobes; the lobes elliptic, 5 mm long, 
4.5 mm wide, glabrous, membranous, few veined, united at 
the base, remaining cup shaped. Capsule 1 cm long, 1.25 
cm wide across the truncate apex, 3-winged, usually a trifle 
oblique at the narrower and rounded base; wings transversely 
 nerved, 4 mm wide at the top or at their widest portion,
