D e s c r i p t i o n. Leaf with short petiole of 0.25 cm. Lamina is slightly ovate in shape and asymmetric. Lamina length is 7.6 cm, width is 3.5 cm. Base is significantly asymmetric, on one side it is cordate, on the other side acute. Apex is not preserved. Margin is entire. Second order venation is camptodromous. The pattern of the secondaries is asymmetric constrained by the leaf shape; on one side of the lamina secondaries are straight and emerge steeply upwards (at angles of 45–50°), whereas on the other cordate side, secondaries emerge at 80–90° and form loops close to the margin.
D i s c u s s i o n. The rather short petiole and asymmetric leaf shape suggest that the leaves were probably leaflets, part of a compound leaf. This taxon has not been recorded in other Egerian floras.
