Fossil Comptonia difformis (Sternberg) Berry (Myricaceae) from the type area in North Bohemia with comments on foliage anatomy and associated fruits
2017
Abstract
Type specimens and other material of Comptonia difformis (Sternberg) Berry (Myricaceae) from the Most Basin, North Bohemia, have been re-investigated in order to obtain more complete information on the leaf morphology, epidermal structure and co-occurring fruits. The history, paleoecology and comparisons with similar fossils from Eurasia and extant Comptonia have been discussed including additional notes on associated pollen and wood anatomy.
