Description

From Hollick (1930) (p. 74)

"Plate 31, Figure 4"

"Leaf small, 3 centimeters in length by 2.25 centimeters in width, ovate-elliptical, tapering to base and apex, sharply denticulate from just below the middle upward, entire below; nervation consisting of a slender midrib and six ascending lateral primaries, three on each side, the inner pair acrodrome, all starting from a point close to the base of the leaf, with fine secondary branches terminating in the marginal dentitions."

 

Remarks

From Hollick (1930) (p. 74)

"This delicate little leaf is clearly a Macclintockia as defined by Heer (1868) (p. 114) and is closely similar to M. sachalinensis Kryshtofovich (1918) (p. 61, fig. 15) from the Cenomanian of the island of Sakhalin, which differs from our species, so far as comparison of the figures is concerned, merely in its somewhat more rounded outline and crenate rather than sharply dentate margin."
