From Hollick (1930) (p. 101)

"Plate 78, Figure 2"

"Sapindus apiculatus Velenovsky, Die Flora der bohmischen Kreideformation. pt. 3: Beitr. Palaontologie Oesterr. Ungarns u. des Orients, vol. 4, No. 1, p. 6 [53], pl. 7 [22], figs. 1-8, Wien, 1884." (Velenovsky 1884)

 

Remarks

From Hollick (1930) (p. 101)

"This well-defined species, originally described from the Cretaceous of Bohemia, has been reported from the Magothy formation of New Jersey and Long Island, N. Y., (Hollick 1897; 1906) (p. 133, pl. 13, figs. 1 - 2; p. 91, pl. 33, fig. 21) although the identity of these specimens with Velenovsky's species may be questioned. There can be but little doubt, however, in regard to the specific identity of the specimen from Alaska."
