Leaflet lanceolate, 90 mm long and 17 mm wide, base slightly asymmetric widely cuneate, apex incomplete probably acute or obtuse, margin entire in the basal part, finely serrate, teeth close, acute, sinus angular, venation semicraspedodromous, midrib strong, moderate, curved, secondary veins thinner, curved, looping by the margin, alternate, at angles of 40–60°, tertiary veins alternate to opposite percurrent, straight to sinuous, venation of the higher orders regular polygonal reticulate, areolation well developed, areoles 3- or 4-sided, veinlets not visiable. A falcate leaflet finely serrate is assigned to the Rosaceae with hesitation. An affinity to the Juglandaceae , e.g., Pterocarya could also be possible.
