Leaves ovate to obovate, acute or acuminate, gradually nar- 
rowed and concave-cuneate at the entire base, sharply doubly 
serrate above with straight glandular teeth, and slightly divided 
above the middle into small acuminate lobes; fully grown when 
the flowers open in the first week of June and then thin, yellow- 
green, covered above by soft hairs and slightly villose along the 
midribs and veins below, and at maturity thick, dark green, 
smooth and lustrous on the upper surface, pale and nearly 
glabrous on the lower surface, 5 to 7 cm long and 4 to 5 cm wide, 
with stout rose colored midribs, and slender primary veins ex- 
tending obliquely to the points of the lobes; petioles stout, wing- 
margined to the base, slightly villose on the upper side early in 
the season, soon becoming glabrous, I to 1.5 cm in length; sti- 
pules lanceolate, acuminate, slightly falcate, glandular-serrate,
