Description

From Hollick (1930) (p. 76)

"Plate 41, Figure 5"

"Leaf broadly flabelliform, about 5 centimeters in length by 7 centimeters in maximum width, abruptly rounded from below the middle upward and broadly truncate-cuneate below, terminating in a short wedge-shaped base; margin finely crenate-dentate above, entire below; nervation consisting of a midrib (?) and six lateral primaries, all of equal rank, radiating from the base, forked in their upper parts, the branches forking in a similar manner, the ultimate branches extending to the margin and apparently terminating in the dentitions."

 

Remarks

From Hollick (1930) (p. 76)

"In this specimen the distinction between midrib and lateral primaries is obscure; the nerves are all very prominent, apparently indicating that the under surface of the leaf is represented, and the general appearance is suggestive of an infolded peltate leaf and, incidentally, of a partly opened fan."
