Description

From Hollick (1930) (p. 115-116)

"Plate 74 Figure 7"

"Size and shape of leaf unknown, coriaceous, nervation coarse, flexuous or angled, forked, craspedodrome; margin coarsely triangular-dentate."

 

Remarks

From Hollick (1930) (p. 115-116)

"This is evidently only a fragment of what was apparently a large leaf of leathery texture. The indicated central nerve maynor may not represent a midrib, and the entire system of nervation preserved on the fragment may merely represent the upper, branching portion of a large lateral nerve. The visible features are suggestive of the Nymphaeaceae, the Menispermaceae, and the Araliaceae; but it would be hazardous to infer even the family affiliation of the leaf from such a fragment."
