Field Notes

Description:

This plant has no fruits. The ovate leaves are 20 cm at its longest point and 12 cm at its widest point. The leaf margins are doubly serrate while the venetian is nested palnate. The leaf arrangement is sub opposite with deeply creased with large veins. The barks are smooth and the roots are buttress roots. It looks like something had definitely ripped at these leaves or tried to eat them!

Habitat:

A secondary forest in Singapore.
