recurved, with annular scai-s of petioles, glabrous. Leaf-buds broadly, globose, 

 scales a few and somewhat larger, ovate, acute, glabrous. Leaves on the

 veins erect and reaching the apex of serratures, veinlets transversely reticulate, 

 costas and veins slightly impressed on the upper surface, slightly prominent 

 on the lower surface, nearly glabrous on both sides, but pubescent on the

Near V. hetulifdium Batal ; but differs from it in having much larger 

 putamen, and also in the leaves rounded at the base. Also near V. dilatatum 

 and V. Wrightii MiQ ; but differs from the former in having quite or nearly 

 glabrous leaves, a very few flowered cymes, and quite glabrous peduncles, 

 and from the latter in having not caudate smaller leaves and less flowered- 

 peduncles. The leaves of V. dilatatum is densely hairy beneath, while those 

 of the present plant are quite glabrous beneath, except the midrib and veins.
