Folia alterna imbricata assurgenti-squarroso-secunda, late ovata, ab apice 
ad # alt. usque acute biloba, supra basin anticam lacinula inflexa 
subulata, raro bifida (ad ramos tenuiores nonnunq. obsoleta) aucta,

pariete sinuato-incrassato. 
Flores dioici: Q terminales. Bractez 1-2-jugee suberectie, foliis sub- 
majores et multo latiores, profunde bilobee, utraque basi—antica
