Bauhinia larsenii D.X. Zhang et Y.F. Chen emend. from the Oligocene of Ningming, Guangxi, South China. (a- b) Holotype: NHMG 45003. (b) Partial enlargement of holotype. White arrows show an organic connection of the leafy shoot and fruit. (c- d) NHMG 45004 and its line-drawing, showing the leaf architectural detail. (e) NHMG 45019, showing a detached fruit. Red arrow refers to a thin, long stipe. (f) NHMG 45012. Red arrow indicates a short spine in the sinus of folded leaf. (g) NHMG 011676. Yellow arrow refers to a thickened upper pulvinus. (h) NHMG 011678. Red arrow indicates the position of the sinus of folded leaf. (i) NHMG 011677. Green arrows indicate partially overlapped primary veins, implying this leaf is folded.
