Discussion
Six fragments, 1.45-1.56 m, and one leaf, 1.60-1.75 m. Plants of a slender growth form and the more robust, typical expression of the species were both present. The habit of extant populations varies, and perhaps this is of ecological significance. Both forms have apiculate, ± bilaterally symmetrical leaves with clasping bases and poorly differentiated alar regions lacking inflated cells.
