Interprimary (secondary to tertiary) veins are not raised on underside, which is distinctly smooth. Spongy mesophyll envelops the interprimary veins and is thicker next to primary lateral veins (Fig. 3 C, D). In reflected light, underside appears porous with “false pores” where epidermis is clear above mesophyll cavities (Fig. 3 C, D). The blade feels and looks rubbery when touched and bent by hand, forming axial wrinkles (Fig. 3C); milky-green colour of underside is most apparent when light is reflected by the white epidermal layer (Fig. 3C, D). Air cavities in spongy mesophyll (180360 um diam.) are obvious to eye as lighter spots when viewed from below with light transmitted from above (and none reflecting off the lower surface) (Fig. 3E), or as dark cavities in reflected light when the lower epidermis is peeled away (Fig. 3F). Petiole bright green (pale green or white at base), slender, cylindrical; petiolar sheath extending to 1/22/3 of the petiole length; edge of sheath prominent after younger leaf has emerged, but not wide-flaring.

These observations indicate a main phase of flowering during the months of peak temperature (MayAugust), with seed germination and early growth following in wet season. The months of peak temperature and rainfall coincide in Mengla, where young seedlings were seen in early May, at the start of the warm, wet summer. In both areas, wet conditions are likely to favour seedling establishment.
