Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| R. S. Hill and H. E. Merrifield 1993 | Only the basal half of the leaf known. Secondary veins are strongly developed, unbranched, and run parallel to one another
until they change angle abruptly when they reach the intramarginal vein. Stomates restricted to one leaf surface, subsidiary cell arrangement typically anomocytic. Small, unicellular trichome bases numerous on stomatiferous surface, and large, mnlticellular, probably glandular structures also occur there. Epidermal cells finely striated. Non-stomatiferous surface poorly preserved, striated. |
