- Diagnosis
- Long-petiolate, probably floating leaves, petiole up to at least 125 mm long, width 5–8 mm widening apically and merging into the broad cuneate-decurrent leaf base; lamina flabellate (resembling Ginkgo), length of lamina 30–44 mm, width 35–67 mm, ratio length/width 0.5–0.6, margin basally entire, apically distinctly dentate (crenate) to slightly serrate, tooth base and apex rounded, shape of adjacent teeth often slightly varying, so that the margin looks somewhat irregular; venation only faintly traceable, from the apical end of the petiole/leaf base several veins( 4–7?) arise, diverging and forking in the lamina (number of forkings remains dubious), the ultimate termination of the veins not recognizable.
