Description:
This species has two rows of festoons running along the length of the leaf, the admedial row is larger than the exmedial row and all festoons have higher order venation within the festoons. The leaves examined here have very irregular festoons, i.e. some are small and others are larger. The secondary venation is decurrent and the venules are free ending.
