L o c a l i t y. Dakin.
D e s c r i p t i o n. Endocarp elliptical 2.1 mm long, 1.1 mm wide; four to five lateral projections on each side measuring 0.2–0.4 mm long and 0.1–0.3 mm wide at the base.
R e m a r k s. Myriophyllum fruits are rectangular to elliptical and have short, lateral projections. Pleistocene leaf fossils are known from Kashmir ( Puri 1951) and endocarps from Nepal ( Bhandari et al. 2009, 2010, 2011). Another fossil occurrence attributed to Haloragaceae is Tarahumara sophiae HERN. - CASTILLO et CEV.- FERRIZ from the Campanian- Maastrichtian of northern Mexico ( Hernandez-Castillo and Cevallos-Ferriz 1999). The Kishenehn specimen may be the oldest macrofossil of the genus.
