Dicotylophyllum sp. 5

Pl. 20, Fig. 7

1961 Aesculus cf. palaeocastanum ETTINGSHAUSEN ; Knobloch, p. 283, pl. 1, fig. 6, pl. 8, fig. 12.

Leaflets (?) elongate, shortly petiolulate, blades incomplete, more than 36 mm long, 31 mm wide, margin double serrate, midrib bent, quite thick. Secondary veins at narrow angles, craspedodromous. Tertiary veins perpendicular or oblique between secondary veins.

D i s c u s s i o n. Knobloch (1961) interpreted one leaf impression (NM-G2866) as a leaflet belonging to Aesculus and another fragment (NM-G8594) as a slightly different form of the same species ( Knobloch 1958). In our opinion the affinity of both these impressions is very doubtful.
