 usually rounded but sometimes attenuate at base ; glabrous on both 

 surfaces ; entire ; 8 to 16 in. long, 2 to 6 in. broad ; midrib rather slender ; 

 main nerves 8 tp 12 pairs, slender, the lowest pair usually from the 

 base at an acute angle with the midrib, the rest at a wider angle curving 

 upwards, the upper ones joining in a looped intramarginal nerve; 

 transverse nervules irregular ; reticulations netted ; petiole 1 to 3 in. 

 long, flaccid. Panicles from the uppermost axils, elongate, lax, some-
