 late or oblong-lanceolate, acuminate at apex, rounded at base ; both 

 surfaces glabrous, greyish when dry, the lower puncticulate ; margins 

 entire, recurved ; 6 to 12 in. long, 2 to 3 in. broad ; midrib stout, very 

 prominently raised on the lower, slightly on the upper surface ; main 

 nerves 12 to 20 pairs, irregularly but slightly curving to near the

 joining in an intramarginal looped nerve ; secondary nerves few between 

 the main nerves ; reticulations irregular, not transverse and not promi- 

 nent ; petiole "5 to "75 in. long, jointed at the base of the leaflet. 

 Panicle terminal, puberulous, 12 to 18 in. long ; peduncle stout, angled, 

 2 to 4 in. long ; main branches usually 3, elongate, the middle one 

 usually longest, bearing distant opposite corymbose cymes of rather 

 large flowers ; the cymes 1 in. rarely 2 in. long ; bracts small, caducous ; 

 bracteoles minute ; pedicels about -1 to '2 in. long, much thickened in 

 fruit ; flowers pale blue, the lip darker. Calyx-tuhe campanulate,

 villous. Stamens exsert ; filaments villous at base, thickened ; anther- 

 cells elliptic. Ovary globose, depressed, tawny-pubescent ; style slen-
