Centella restioides Adamson

Resprouting dioecious perennial herb with flowering branches developing from a woody base; older stems without prominent leaf bases. Leaves variable, usually acicular, but sometimes narrowly oblong (mainly in basal parts or coppice shoots), mostly sessile, sometimes petiolate; midrib depressed above and raised below; lamina mostly indistinguishable from the petiole, narrowly elliptic or narrowly oblong when present; (30-)77-105(-152) mm long, (0.5-)1-2.5(-5) mm wide, the base slightly widened, the margin entire, apex acute; surface brown, concolorous, mostly glabrous on dorsal and ventral side, sometimes sparsely pubescent towards the base of the petiole. Inflorescences separated by long internodes, borne along the entire length of the long shoots, secund (all directed to the same side); male inflorescence with 4-6 umbellules; rays (3.5-)5-8(-11) mm long; bracts 4(2 pairs), with bluntly obtuse apex, abaxially villous, outer bract pair larger and more regular in shape than inner bract pair; male flowers 5-7 on each umbellule, petals abaxially villous; female inflorescence with single umbellule; ray (3-)6-14(-20) mm long; bracts 4(2 pairs), lower bract pair mostly undeveloped, usually persistent at base of ray, upper pair covering entire fruit at base, narrowly acuminate (4.5-)5-5.5(-8) mm long, 2-2.5 mm wide, always longer than the fruit. Fruit broadly obovate in commissural view, (3.5-)4-1.5(-5) mm long, 3-5 mm wide, flattened; ribs relatively prominent, irregularly distributed.
