Dicotylophyllum sp. 3

Fig. 6A.

Material.—A single fragmentary leaf, ZPAL Pl 4/1/5, from Krasnobród.

Description.—A fragment of leaf ca. 25 mm in length and ca. 30 mm in width (estimated) might suggest an elliptic shape. Blade possibly medially asymmetric. The irregular course of the margin suggests an original serration but this is inconclusive due to poor preservation.

There is a relatively thick straight primary vein. Major secondaries probably eucamptodromous or cladodromous. Secondary attachment decurrent, angle inconsistent, spacing possibly decreasing distally. Tertiaries sometimes difficult to distinguish from secondaries, irregularly reticulate.

Remarks.—This taxon is very different from all the others described here in its low rank venation (except maybe Protohedycarya ? sp. but only its midvein is preserved in our material). Fragmentary preservation precludes any precise identification.
