Leaflets (?) elongate oval, entire-margined, 45–81 mm long, 23–30 mm wide. Midrib straight, thick, secondary veins looping well within the margin. Tertiary veins almost perpendicular to the secondaries, forming loops along the margin. One specimen has a long tip .
D i s c u s s i o n. This entire-margined morpho-type has been assigned to various genera (e.g. Cedrela by Palamarev and Petkova 1987) but so far no definite solution has been reached. The foliage is chartaceous, not suitable for cuticle studies.
