Petiolules 1 in. or less; common petiole about 6 in. Panicles equalling or shorter than the leaves. Drupes 3/4–1 in. long, 1/2 in. diam.

Notes
Excepting the length of the petiolules, I see no worthy character separating these two forms, which are referred to as distinct species in the ‘Genera Plantarum.’
