 obtusis, integerrimis, nervo primario basi valido, apicem versus sensim angustato, nervis 

 secundariis sub angulis acutis orientibus, tenuissimis, subremotis, nervis tertiariis obsoletis ;

Miocene ; menilite-opal of the valley of Schichow near Bilin, Bohemia. 



Leaf 4| in. long by If in. wide ; petiole f in. long. Calyx \ | in. in diameter, lobes
