Leaf simple; whole lamina and base symmetrical; form narrow elliptic, 7.5 cm long and 1.8 cm wide. Apex probably attenuate. Base acute, decurrent. Margin entire. Petiole normal, 1.1 cm long and 1 mm wide. Primary venation pinnate; primary vein stout, multi-stranded, course straight. Secondary venation festooned brochidodromous; ca. 10 pairs per lamina, opposite or subopposite, decurrent; angle of divergence narrow acute (ca. 30º), with lowest two or three pairs more acute than pairs above; spacing of secondary veins irregular, course uniformly curved; secondary veins joining exmedial branches of superadjacent secondary veins to form two series of loops. Intersecondary veins present, simple. Tertiary veins thin, predominately percurrent; angle of origin AO (acute on the lower side of the secondary and obtuse on the upper side), primary vein-tertiary vein angle oblique; course slightly wavy. Quaternary veins thin, orthogonal reticulate, anastomosing to form pentagonal or quadrangular meshes. Veins of higher order not observed. Number of specimens examined. 2. Occurrences.
