resemblance to that of N. flabellata. The older petioles and backs of the leaves become 
black in the dried specimens.

The lamina is very like the palm of a hand with finger-like lobes, some of which bear 
minute incurved lateral lobule. The corolla appears to be a deep blue. The corolla- 
tube is very short in this species, and the stamens are arranged in a globose head with 
the free portions of the filaments elongated.
