A variety is called interruptum and another appendiculatum, and these names both relate to the interruption of the leaves by a naked midvein. The leaves are seen to be built up of three parts. The lower half retains the aspect of a limb; it is crowned by a vein without lateral nerves or blade-like expansions, and this stalk in its turn bears a short limb on its summit.
The base of this apical limb exhibits two connate lobes, forming together a wide cup or ascidium. It should be stated that these interruptum varieties are highly variable, especially in the relative size of the three principal parts of the leaf.
