--><p>The indumentum in Gonolobus can consist of trichomes of uniform length but more often includes a mixture of long eglandular, short eglandular, and/or short glandular capitate trichomes. Stems, petioles, peduncles, and pedicels may have indumentum in lines or completely around the stalk (ubiquitous).</p>
