Pl. 12, Fig. 7–8
Leaves simple obovate, 16 to 35 mm long and 6 to 15 mm wide, apex obtuse and blunt or emarginate, base cuneate narrowed to thick petiole up to 2 mm long, margin entire, venation brochidodromous, midrib straight, secondaries, alternate at angles of 40–50°, straight, looping, tertiary veins alternate to opposite percurrent, sinuous, venation of the higher orders regular polygonal reticulate, areolation distinctly developed, 3- to 4-sided.
These spatulate leaves are of unknown affinity and were in older literature (e.g., Ettingshausen 1853, Heer 1859, Unger 1867) assigned to Sapotaceae . This sort of foliage requires epidermal studies.
