2 side nerves only slightly branched on outside
and not forming a net-work. Seed (without aril) now
2 mm long. Aril has 2 lobes 1 mm long (when impositon,
these lobes do not reach to middle of seed) and a much
smaller lurking lobe (really almost ½ mm), these
lobes all lying close against seed. Seed pubescent;
aril glabrous except for a small spot of similar
pubescence on top. The P. from near V-M used for
