Remarks

From Hollick (1930) (p. 41-42)

"This species, as depicted by Velenovsky, presents a considerable variation in the size and form of the leaves. Our specimen belongs to the spatulate type, with an obscurely defined midrib.

A fragment, referred to the species with some doubt, from the Magothy formation of Marthas Vineyard, Mass., is figured by Hollick (1902) (p. 403, pl. 41, fig. 12) but otherwise the species does not appear to be recorded from any other locality in America."
