Leaves at most 18-20 x 6-7 cm., sometimes 12-14 x 4-5 cm., 
greyish-green when dry below, brownish above; lateral nerves about 
Son each side of the midrib, with numerous interposed nerves of 
lower order all, together with the reticulum, prominent on both sides ; 
petioles about 1 cm. long. Panicles at most 15 em. long and 9 cm. 
broad, the peduncle frequently 3-5 em. long, the branches anfrac- 
tuose and usually 2-4 cm. long. Bracts subfugacious, lanceolate. 
minutely tawny-tomentose, 4 mm. long. Pedicels 2-6 (or even 7) mm. 
in length. Perianth green, 3 mm. long, of which 2 mm. belong to 
the tube; lobes 1 mm. long, 1:3 mm. broad. Stamens of the two 
outer whorls 1 mm. broad and rather more than that in length; 
extrorse stamens 1:5 mm. long, with filaments 1 mm. wide and 
somewhat broader anthers, the pale green glands nearly ‘5 mm. in 
diameter. Staminodes difficult to find among the hairs of the inner 
side of the perianth, less than 1 mm. long. Ovary broadly ovoid, 
1 mm. long. Style half as long again as the ovary, swollen in its 
lower part. 
Near T. longipes Stapf, which has smaller leaves, a glabrous 
perianth, different stamens and staminodes and ovary as long as 
the style.
