3.distal

An arthrotomy can be performed at or close to the anterolateral fracture line to avoid devascularization ofthe distal tibia (Fig. 3).

blades on proximal part of stem ovate, usually 3-5-lobed, those on distal part of stem ovate or elliptic, margin irregularly dentate.

rachis glabrous; proximal bracts 3-parted, distal ones undivided, oblong or linear.

proximal bracts 3-sect, distal ones undivided, narrowly linear.

proximal bracts leaflike, distal ones sessile, 3-sect or undivided.

proximal bracts 3-sect, distal ones undivided, linear.

proximal bracts leaflike or 3-parted, distal ones linear.

proximal bracts 3-fid, distal ones subulate, very small.

basal bracts leaflike or 3-fid, distal bracts linear.

proximal bracts leaflike, distal ones 3-fid.

rachis glabrous; proximal bracts leaflike, 3--8. 5 cm, shortly stipitate, distal ones oblong, ca. 1 cm, dentate.

Flowers (1 or)2--4 per shoot, both terminal and axillary, usually 1--3 underdeveloped flower buds also present in axils of distal leaves.

Proximal leaves in whorls of 3, middle and distal ones opposite or whorled, long petiolate;

lobes 3, distal, margin coarsely obtusely dentate, apex obtuse or acute;

Petiole 3-4 mm, adaxially longitudinally sulcate, distal end winged by decurrent leaf base;

proximal bracts leaflike, distal ones small, subulate, to 7 mm. Pedicels 1--3 cm;

proximal bracteoles leaflike, 2. 5--3 cm, distal ones linear, to 1 cm. Sepals blue-purple;
