glabrous and angularly ridged toward their ends, the longer 
ones branched from near the base; roots fibrous and pro- 
fuse. Leaves alternating and scattered, 3 to 7 cm long, as- 
cending from the base though gradually recurved toward the 
distal end, leaflet bearing from near the base, about 20- 
foliate; petiole 5 to 8 mm long, glabrous, compressed and 
ridged; stipule 3 mm long at most, persistent, membranous, 
peltately attached, broadly rounded at the base and widely * 
notched at the lower end, the upper portion setose; rachis 
ridged and compressed, glabrous; leaflets flat, ascending,
