prominent, the lowest pair marginal, at an angle of about 60° with 
the midrib and curving only near the margin, the upper 2 or 3

regular, parallel but faint; reticulation obscure ; petiole thick, 2—3 
em. long. Flowers in slenderly pedunculate (about 6 mm. long)

raceme bracts very small, deciduous ; involucral bracts 4, orbicular, 
concave, 4—5 mm. in diam.; open umbellules nearly 10 mm. in
