Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
R. Florin 1940Woody plants. Lateral foliage- shoots with leafy branchlets resembling those of certain recent podocarps (Eupodocarpus). These branchlets are straight, more than 4 cm. long. and with an axis 1-1.5 mm. in diameter. Leaves of sterile branchlets homomorphic, bifacial, spirally disposed but expanded by the twisting of the leaf-bases in approximately the same plane, turning the morphological upper surface upwards, coriaceous, entire, flat, straight or slightly curved, uninerved, spreading to divaricate (50-90°), linear-lanceolate, 15-16 mm. long. 2.5-3 mm. broad, obtuse or exceptionally almost acute at the apex, sharpy and strongly contracted to a very short petiole, and thus abruptly rounded at the base of the blade, indistinctly decurrent on the axis.
