Morphology
Bracteoles are present on some pedicels but not on others. In the cases where there is a single bracteole the pedicel tends to be quite long so it is quite possible that the bracteole is actually a sterile bract. The secondary venation is not distinguishable from the parallel tertiary giving the impression of a very densely veined leaf like a Calophyllum leaf.
