- Leaves simple, symmetrical, narrow elliptical; preserved size 7.0 x 1.3 cm (half lamina width); apex indistinct; base acute; margins entire; texture thick chartaceous, petiole not clear; venation pinnate, eucamptodromous; primary vein (1o) single, straight, prominent, moderately thick towards base, thinning towards apex; secondary veins (2o) 6-7 pairs visible, alternate to opposite, 0.5 to 2.0 cm apart, basal secondary veins closely placed than middle and
upper ones, unbranched, angle of divergence narrowly to widely acute (about 45-70o), veins uniformly curving upwards and joining super adjacent secondary veins, inter-secondary veins simple; tertiary veins (3o) poorly preserved, angle of origin usually RR, percurrent, straight to sinuous, predominantly alternate, oblique to right angle in relation to midvein and close to distant.
