Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
S. R. Manchester and W. S. Judd 2022Fruit an asymmetrically winged samara about 2.5 times longer than wide, pedicellate with a hypogynous perianth scar at junction of pedicel with the fruit body. Pedicel thin. Samara with a laterally flattened elliptical endocarp, with 12–16 longitudinal ribs that are oriented obliquely, at an angle of 30–40° to the long axis of the samara. Wing with elongate, arching subparallel veins extending to the lower and distal margins of the wing. Veins mostly of one order, with some anastomosing and dichotomizing, 2.6 veins per mm, more densely spaced along the upper margin than along the lower and distal margins. A fine fimbrial vein defines periphery of the wing.
