The peculiarity of the leaf represented in fig. 42 consists in 
its common petiole having been split up and in the two parts 
having lengthened differently. As high as the base of the ter- 
minal leaflet the fissure becomes apparent, the base itself being 
torn up and oblique. The leaflets of the preceding pair are 
fairly opposite, but those of the second pair occupy different 
heights. Of the lowest pair only the right one has grown out, 
whereas the left one is a mere little knob. The latter is placed 
in the groove which downwards prolongs the fissure and only 
close to the base of the common petiole disappears. Most pro- 
bably the splitting up of the common petiole has through an 
unknown cause arisen at the base of the terminal leaflet when 
still very young and from thence proceeded downwards.

Collected a short branchlet with three leaves: the lowest has 
a stunted midrib and therefore a cordate apex, also the base 
is cordate. The second leaf is developed unilaterally. The third

shaped blade. :
