Folia hexasticha; lateralia imprimis siccitate recurvo-patentia, appro-

 nia basi excepta evidenter serrulata, costata, costis binis divergentibus 

 obscure viridibus basilaribus infra tertiam folii partem evanescentibus ;

 triplo longiora, ceterum forma similia, erecta ; duo intima latissime ova-

 omnia integerrima, costa destituta, areolatione valde laxa et hyalina.

 lanceolata, acuta ; media ovato-lanceolata, sensi'm in cuspidem attenuata, 

 erecto-patula, basi tanturn vaginulam amplectentia ; intiraa late ovata, 

 cuspidata, cuspide dein magis recurvo ; omnia integerrima, costis basila-
