Description

From Hollick (1930) (p. 84)

"Plate 75, Figure 2"

"Leaf expanded in its lower part, rounded to a broad, cuneate base; margin serrate-dentate; nervation tripalmate, craspedodrome; lateral primaries ascending at angles of about 45° from the midrib, subparallel with the secondary nerves next above, each giving off six or more forked branches from the under side, the branches and their ramifications each terminating in one of the teeth; secondary nerves irregularly disposed, widely spaced on each side of the midrib."

 

Remarks

From Hollick (1930) (p. 84)

"This leaf is somewhat similar in general appearance to Platanus latior intermedia, the specific variety last described, but the nervation is more ascending, and the dentition, as far as it is preserved, appears to be serrate rather than triangular-dentate."
