Cuticle of non-stomatiferous surface with cells nearly isodiametric, 4-7 sided, irregularly arranged with porose walls, trichome bases of 1-4 rounded, slightly enlarged cells with thicker cuticle. Cuticle of stomatiferous surface with stomates in irregular-shaped, trichome-filled pits of width exceeding the distance between them and comprising the areoles between the lowest order veins.
