size and running to the apex of a subordinate lobe. — There are a 
sparse number of relatively fine secondaries diverging at angles 
of about 45° or more and apparently camptodrome. The deep and 
narrow but rounded sinuses approach to within three to five centi- 
meters of the base and divide the leaf into five or more major 
lobes and these are subdivided by more or less deep sinuses of a 
similar character into inequilateral, ovate-lanceolate, obtusely 
pointed, subordinate lobes. [FIGURES I and 2.
