Pl. 10, figs 1-3, 5-6

Leaflets?subsessile, lamina narrow elongate, slightly falcate, base rounded, apex acute, margin coarsely widely dentate, venation semicraspedodromous, midrib straight to bent, secondaries very thin, bent, at wide angles, looping well within the lamina with intersecondaries.

D i s c u s s i o n: Ettingshausen (1869) identified such leaves housed at BP as Salix varians . The teeth on the margin differ decidedly from the willows. Additional material suggested that these remains might represent leaflets. Due to coarsely dentate margin an affinity to Ailanthus is tentatively suggested.
