D e s c r i p t i o n. Leaves mostly shortly petiolate; lamina obovate, l × w about 26–36 × 10–22 mm, ratio l/w about 1.5–2.7, base cuneate, decurrent, apex broadly rounded; margin entire near base, in the apical part shallow crenulate to irregularly toothed; midvein straight; secondaries basally eucamptodromous, in the crenulate part (semi)craspedodromous, densely spaced, in the basal part at moderately narrow angles, angles increasing apically, course rather straight, sometimes forked; simple intersecondaries occasionally present; tertiaries dense, usually forked, wavy, strongly oblique to secondaries and almost perpendicular to midvein.

Differing from Dicotylophyllum sp. C by wider lamina (lower length/width ratio) and apically crenulate margin.

Differing from Dicotylophyllum sp. D by more slender shape and crenulate margin.

Differing from Dicotylophyllum sp. E by inconspicuous secondary and tertiary venation, more densely spaced and rather straight course of secondaries as well as coarser crenate margin.

Differing from Dicotylophyllum sp. Y by obovate shape, cuneate-decurrent base and apically coarser crenulate margin.

Differing from Dicotylophyllum sp. II by distinctly obovate shape, apically coarser crenulate margin and inconspicuous secondary and tertiary venation.
