A peculiarly badly named plant, as it is almost exclusively a lowland 
species, though Wray found it at 3400 ft. altitude. The leaves are very 
variable, sometimes almost equilateral, at others very unequal-sided, the 
base is usually broad and round but sometimes cuneate, narrowing to the 
petiole.
