 and then arching upwards and joining in a narrow intramarginal ring ; 

 secondary nerves many, like the main-nerves, reticulations numerous ; 

 petiole '4 in. long, slender, only very narrowly winged. Inflorescence 

 an axillary, short, few- (1-5) flowered, glabrous, umbellate raceme, 

 peduncle "5 to "7 in. long ; pedicels "5 in. long, recurved, more or less
