Pl. 11, Fig. 8–9
Incomplete probably ovate leaf, up to 62 mm long and 44 mm wide, apex probably acute or shortly attenuate, base not preserved, margin simple serrate, teeth close, glandular, blunt, sinus angular, venation semicraspedodromous, primary veins distinct, moderate, secondary veins thinner, alternate, looping, at angles of 40–60°, tertiary veins alternate perpendicular, sinuous to curved, forked, venation of the higher orders regular polygonal reticulate, areolation well developed, 4-sided.
The leaf impression with glandular teeth shows features characteristic of several foliage types of the Theaceae (cf. Kvaček and Walther 1984a, b). Due to the lack of epidermal features this determination must remain only tentative.
