Monotes africana A.Dc.

Leaf-lamina 5–10 × 2·5–5·5 cm., elliptic to oblong or obovate, obtuse to emarginate at the apex, rounded to slightly cordate at the base; upper surface finely reticulate, typically bullate in the angles made by the lateral nerves and midrib (with a corresponding depression on the lower face), glabrous except sometimes for the midrib and lateral nerves, viscid from numerous punctiform yellow glands; lower surface concolorous, puberulous with very minute curled or coiled meso-pachydermatous hairs mixed with some straight ones on the nerves and reticulation, the interreticular areoles generally glabrous; midrib and lateral nerves slightly depressed above and prominent beneath; lateral nerves in 8–13 pairs (with a strong tendency to the formation of short subsidiaries), nearly straight but incurved at the apex without reaching the margin of the leaf; veins and reticulation not very prominent but quite conspicuous.

It is a tropical plant.
