Image:
collector's number:	1.
fruits/flowers:	mature flowers
notes:	Subject to a physical determination specimen 1. looks like the hybrid between T. latifolia and T. angustifolia, despite Beeby labelling it as T. latifolia. There is a small gap seperating the male and female flowers on the inflorescence, an intermediate feature between T. latifolia and T. angustifolia. The leaf is possibly also intermediate in width although it displays a wide range of width.
