Discussion
Twelve plants, preservation good for all diagnostic features, 1.45-1.56 m. A combination of characters was used to identify the fossils, including acuminate leaves with the costa strong and ending below the apex, thick-walled laminal cells (the upper ones oblong-rhombic), and the enlarged basal laminal cells at the leaf insertion.
