Pl. 2, Fig. 15–16; Pl. 3, Fig. 1–2
Leaves simple, petiolate, lamina elliptic to ovate, up to 125 mm long and 55 mm wide, base cuneate, decurrent into up to 15 mm long petiole, apex acuminate and blunt, margin entire, venation brochidodromous, midrib strong, moderate, straight or slightly curved in apical part, secondary veins thinner, straight, looping by margin (slightly stronger lower secondaries), alternate, originating at 30–50°, tertiary veins perpendicular, straight to sinuous, venation of the higher orders regular polygonal reticulate, areolation well developed, 4-sided, veinlets not visible.
The determinations are based merely on similarities in gross morphology, similarly as in the case of the flora of Meleto and Arjuzanx (Fischer and Butzman 2000, Kvaček et al. 2011). However without anatomical structure the identification of the leaves must remain doubtful and may also belong to taxa of the Magnoliaceae and Nyssaceae families.
