The terminal leaves are somewhat larger than the leaves, and the petioles are equal to the peduncles, which are sporadically hairy. Orbicular bracts sub-sessile at the centre. At the centre of the stigmatic centrum, at the tip of the scutellum sursun pointed amata, a cylindrical pale berry openedly appeared.[2]
