- In several of the known species, the leaves are said to be trinerved, or almost triplinerved; in a few others they are triplinerved; but in our specimens they are distinctly septuplinerved, the three pairs of opposite nerves showing in light gray on the upper face of the leaf, and being made more conspicuous on the lower face by a neat fringe of gray, h^([sic]) hairs.1924 November 19, Henry Pittier, “New or little known Melastomataceae from Venezuela and Panama.
