Furthermore, amongst others, the leaves of this variety are more numerous (15–35 vs. 4 or 5) and spirally arranged (vs. opposite), and the staminate flowers are actinomorphic (vs. bisymmetric).</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/03FA878AFF86A427FF400F3DFA9FFEBF	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
