Remarks

From Hollick (1930) (p. 83)

"A considerable variety of leaf forms have been referred to this species by Heer, Lesquereux, and subsequent writers, some of which might be regarded as distinct species. The particular figures with which our specimens appear to compare most closely are some by Heer (1883) (pl. 59, figs. 2, 6) representing specimens from the Patoot beds of Greenland. In one or another of its forms it has been reported from the Dakota sandstone of Nebraska by Lesquereux (1874) (p. 72, pl. 8, figs. 2, 3; pl. 9, fig. 3) and from the Magothy (?) formation of Long Island, N. Y., by Pollard (1894) (p. 181)"
