- Diagnosis
- Pinna 20 mm. long and about 8 mm. wide. Secondary rachis 5 mm. wide and nearly straight. Pinnules alternate, arising from the secondary rachis at an angle of 40c. They are deltoid in contour and about 7 mm. long and 4 mm. wide. A typical pinnule divides into nine elongated pointed segments, three in the upper leaf, four in the central leaf, and two in the bottom leaf. No veins are traceable in the segments but probably each segment possessed a single vein.
