Incomplete leaf widely elliptic to obovate, 33 to 92 mm long and 30 to 58 mm wide, apex not preserved, base probably broadly cuneate, margin entire, venation brochidodromous, midrib strong and straight, secondaries distinctly thinner, alternate, curved, looping, rarely forked, tertiary veins alternate to opposite percurrent, straight to sinuous, venation of the higher orders well developed, areolation 3- to 4-sided, veinlets lacking.

We treat several impressions of entire-margined leaves as part of the same plant that produced the endocarps described above, although definite evidence of generic affinity based on epidermal anatomy is not available.
