| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| R. J. Carpenter et al. 2012 | Leaves pinnately lobed. Venation within lobes brochidodromous. Stomatal alignment random, stomata not clearly within areoles. Subsidiary cells typically narrow, but with further epidermal cells lateral to each subsidiary cell. Stomatal complexes rarely not brachyparacytic. Trichome bases associated with two to eight epidermal cells uncommon on both leaf surfaces. Outer cuticle surfaces not striated, inner surfaces granular. Inner abaxial epidermal cell anticlinal wall cuticle flanged, buttressed. Adaxial walls straighter, not buttressed. |
