Leaves very large, the uppermost attaining 35 em. in length and 
13 cm. in breadth, considerably exceeding the inflorescences; the 
lower, to judge from n. 1448, may be 150-200 cm. long. Calyx 
nearly 15 mm. long. Corolla over 2'5 cm. long; lobes 13 mm. long 
and 6-7 mm. broad. Berry 3:5 cm. long, and about 3 cm. broad. 
The affinities of this species are with A. lanceolata Gilg, but it is 
A distinguished by the character of the corolla and the shape of 
the leaves.

their course, running for the most part at 3-5 mm. distance from the 
margin; ordinary lateral nerves about 6 pairs, inserted on the midrib 
almost at a right angle, together with interpolated secondary nerves 
and the rather lax reticulum prominent on both sides of the leaf; 
petioles stout, 2-3 mm. long, pubescent. Cymes about 5 mm. long.
