Discussion
One plant, 1.45-1.56 m. The thin-walled, epapillose cell-groups in lower leaf laminae are mostly absent in the fossils, but a weak basal marginal border is evident in two leaves. The leaves are blunt, and their margins are plane or erect near the apex. The costae are subpercurrent. The features match those of sterile plants of E. procera, but it is impossible to rule out all species in the E. rhaptocarpa-E. vulgaris complex (Horton, 1983).
