Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
D. T. Blackburn 1981Leaves simple with entire, serrate, or lobed margins, or pinnate;
bilateral. Stomates superficial, or in pits, or in grooves, each with pair of subsidiary cells placed parallel to pore. Cells of
stomatiferous epidermis with thick or thin, pitted, straight or curved lateral walls, some with bicellular hairs. Basal cells of hairs either thick or thin walled, sometimes with beaded thickening, of even diameter throughout or expanded distally or
proximally. Cylindrical hair bases present on some or all cells of the non-stomatiferous epidermis. Cuticular papillae sometimes present.
