Description

From Hollick (1930) (p. 51)

"Plate 28, Figure 2"

"Nageiopsis angustifolia Fontaine, The Potomac or younger Mesozoic flora: U.S. Geo1. Survey Mon. 15, p. 202, pl. 86, figs. 8, 9; pl. 87, figs. 2-6a ; pl. 88, figs. 1, 3, 4, 6-8; pl. 89, fig. 2, 1889." (Fontaine 1889)

 

Remarks

From Hollick (1930) (p. 51)

"The species to which this specimen is referred is variable in the size of its leaves, but certain of the smaller ones figured by Fontaine (1889)(op. cit., pl. 87, fig. 3; pl. 88, figs. 1, 3, 4) compare very satisfactorily with ours.

The distribution of the species outside of Alaska includes the Lower Cretaceous of Wyoming and South Dakota, the Shasta series of California, and the lower part of the Potomac group of Maryland, Virginia, and the District of Columbia (Fontaine 1905)"
