Carya sp.

Pl. 9, Fig. 9–11

Leaflet asymmetric, elliptic, 81 mm long and 26 mm wide, base widely cuneate to rounded, apex acuminate, margin regularly simple serrate, teeth acute, sinuses often angular, venation craspedodromous (in apical part) to semicraspedodromous (in medial and basal parts), midrib strong, moderate, slightly curved, secondary veins distinct, alternate, numerous, curved towards the apex and margin, at angles of 60–70°, rarely forked, thin tertiary veins numerous, alternate percurrent, straight to curved, venation of the higher orders poorly preserved.

Leaflets of Carya are characterized by the forked ends of secondary veins and typical variation between craspedodromous and semicraspedodromous venation type. The natural affinities are best recognizable in fossil fruits ( Mai 1981).
