Wing extending along apical 1/3 to 1/2 of distal side of nutlet, forming a broadly U-shaped sulcus, 2.0 to 2.5 cm long, 0.8 to 1.0 cm wide, widest in apical 1/3; distal margin broadly convex, proximal margin straight apex narrowly rounded; veins from nutlet coalescing after passing onto wing along proximal side, then diverging at angles of 10° to 30°, dichotomizing 3 to 5 times, numerous
