Description

From Hollick (1930) (p. 111)

"Plate 27, Figure 6b"

"Hedera pltlanoidea Lesquereux:, U. S. Geol. and Geog. Survey Terr. Ann. Rept. for 1874, p. 851, pl. 3, fig. 3, 1876; The Cretaceous and Tertiary floras: U. S. Geol. Survey Terr. Rept., vol. 8, p. 65, pl. 3, figs. 5-6, 1883." (Lesquereux 1874; 1883)

 

Remarks

From Hollick (1930) (p. 111)

"Our leaf is too fragmentary for accurate comparison or positive identification, but the basilar characters are those of Lesquereux's species, and the secondary nervation, as far as it is preserved, is strongly indicative of that species. In any event our leaf would be included in the same genus with it, and pro"visional specific identity appears to be justified."
