Laurophyllum sp. 1

Pl. 3, Fig. 3–6

Large lauroid elliptic to ovate leaves with entire margin and brochidodromous venation of the same type as the above described taxon, can not be identifiable to the species level without abaxial epidermal structure being known. Similarly the affinity to Lauraceae is not guaranted and the studied leaves may belongs to other families e.g., Magnoliaceae , Nyssaceae . Due to the extreme leaf size exceeded a length of 220 mm, they are treated separately.
