A very distinct species. The leaves in texture closely resemble 
i of 7. (Agirta) Hagen, Muell. Arg., but are much smaller, 
have a different outlin and relatively longer petioles. T.

to be nfet with in the bracts subtending the female flowers which in 
T. Boiviniana are like the male bracts but in 7. tmerinica are like
