"Plate 37, Figure 1"

"Leaf oblong-elliptical, 3.25 centimeters in length by 1.75 centimeters in width across the middle, rounded above and terminating in an apiculate apex, rounded to the base on one side, cuneate on the other; margin finely serrate-dentate; nervation pinnate; craspedodrome; secondary nerves alternate, subparallel, leaving the midrib at more acute angles of divergence on one side than on the other, mostly forked at the extremities, the two lower ones curved or flexed, with subhorizontal branches from the under sides."

 

Remarks

From Hollick (1930) (p. 70-71)

"This leaf is somewhat suggestive of the Tertiary species Ulmus sorbifolia Goeppert (1852; 1855) (p. 492; p. 30, pl. 14, fig. 10) in its outline, but the nervation is more irregular, ascending, and flexuous."
