Description

From Hollick (1930) (p. 72-73)

"Plate 52, Figure 2b"

"Ficus melanophylla Lesquereux, 'The flora of the Dakota group: U.S. Geol. Survey Mon. 17, p. 83, PI. 50, fig. 2, 1892." (Lesquereux 1892)

 

Remarks

From Hollick (1930) (p. 72-73)

"This imperfect leaf is provisionally referred to Lesquereux's species from the Dakota sandstone of Kansas on account of the fine reticulate, dictyodrome nervation that is common to both specimens. This form of nervation, however, occurs in a number of other species of the genus, both living and fossil, and as examples in this connection it may be of interest to refer to Ficus myricoides Hollick (1895 [1896]; 1906)) (p. 71 pl. 32, fig. 18; pl. 41, figs. 8, 9; p. 57, pl. 11, figs. 8, 9) from the Raritan and Magothy formations of New Jersey, Long Island, N. Y., and Marthas Vineyard, Mass.; and Ficus atavina Heer (1882) (p. 69, pl. 11, figs. 5b, 7b, 8b, etc.) from the Atane beds of Greenland. The imperfect condition of our specimen, however, makes any satisfactory comparison of the leaf form impossible."
