Remarks

From Hollick (1930) (p. 72)

"There can hardly be any question as to the identity of this leaf with Lesquereux's species from the Dakota sandstone of Minnesota and Kansas, although the secondary nervation is obscurely defined, and the characteristic reticulate tertiary nervation is not visible."
