Bambusa sp.

Pl. 4, Fig. 4–5

Leaves lanceolate to elliptic up to 95 mm in length and 12 mm wide, apex acute to shortly attenuate, base cuneate narrowing to short petiole (up to 5 mm), margin entire, venation acrodromous with thicker midrib and 2 to 3 lateral pairs of thick primary veins, interspaced at a distance of ca. 1 mm by parallel thinner lower-order lateral veins, originated from base of the midrib, venation of higher orders not preserved.

The impressions at hand are similar to leaves identified as Bambusa lugdunensis SAPORTA from the Neogene deposits in Europe (e.g., Grangeon 1958, Martinetto 2003, Worobiec 2003).
