Description

From Hollick (1930) (p. 113)

"Plate 30, Figure 1b"

"Myrsine gaudini (Lesquereux) Berry, Torrey Bot. chib Bull., vol. 36, p. 262, 1909." (Berry 1909)
"Myrsinites? gaudini Lesquereux, The flora of the Dakota group: U.S. Geol. Survey Mon. 17, p. 115, pl. 52, fig. 4, 1892." (Lesquereux 1892)

 

Remarks

From Hollick (1930) (p. 113)

"This species, described and figured by Lesquereux from the Dakota sandstone of Kansas, is hardly to be distinguished from Myrsine elongata Newberry (1895 [1896]) (p. 122, pl. 22, figs. 1 - 3) from the Raritan formation of New Jersey, and they may well be regarded as one and the same species, although the latter is slightly narrower. A specimen from the Magothy formation of Long Island, N.Y., figured by Hollick (1906) (p. 102, pl. 39, fig. 13) and referred to Newberry's species, is aparently identical with Lesquereux's species and with our specimen from Alaska."
