Leaflets ovate-oval, 36–115 mm long and 26–36 mm wide, on margin double serrate, base decurrent, asymmetrical, midrib straight or slightly bent, distinct, secondary veins at almost right angle at leaflet base, higher up at a more steep angle. Often forked near margin, sometime twice, particularly those from near the leaflet base, tertiary veins running perpendicularly or slightly oblique, higher-order venation areolate ( Knobloch 1958, translated from Czech, modified).

D i s c u s s i o n s: The material assigned by Knobloch (1961) to Carya represents variable foliage, which is partly difficult to distinguish from leaflets of Cyclocarya , as described below.
