Incomplete leaf, lamina lanceolate to elliptic, 32 mm long by 22 mm wide, apex not preserved, base cuneate with fragmentary petiole, margin entire, venation brochidodromous, midrib straight, secondary veins thin, alternate, departing from midrib at angles of 40° to 60°, forming loops, tertiary veins alternate perpendicular, straight to sinuous, venation of higher order veins regular polygonal reticulate, poorly preserved.

R e m a r k s. Lauroid leaves with entire margin and brochidodromous venation with preserved epidermal structure are known in Early Miocene floras of Northern Bohemia and Moravia as Laurophyllum pseudoprinceps WEYLAND , L. pseudovillense KVAČEK , L. rugatum KVAČEK et BŮŽEK , L. nechranicense BŮŽEK et KVAČEK , L. saxonicum LITKE or Laurophyllum sp. (e.g., Bůžek et al. 1996, Kvaček and Hurník 2000, Kvaček and Teodoridis 2007, Holý et al. 2012).
