Comptonia comptoniifolia (BRONGN.) DOWELD, 2017 Pl. 2, Fig. 4

1825 Aspleniopteris difformis STERNB. , p. 33, pl. 24, fig. 1.

1906 Comptonia difformis (STERNB.) E.W.BERRY , p. 495.

2017 Comptonia comptoniifolia (BRONGN.) DOWELD , pp. 223– 224.

M a t e r i a l. 1 specimen, Líšeň-Neklež ( MB103 ) .

D e s c r i p t i o n. Fragment of pinnately lobed lamina, lobe 11 mm long by 8 mm wide, ovate, apex acute, margin entire, venation eucamptodromous, secondary veins thin, innervating one lobe, venation of higher orders poorly preserved.

R e m a r k s. The leaf fragment is safely assigned to Comptonia comptoniifolia , based on the characteristic venation of the entire lobe. This taxon is a typical shrub element of the Most Basin, e.g., Břešťany clay and sand-clay facies of the Žatec delta (Bůžek 1971, Kvaček and Bůžek 1983, Teodoridis 2002, 2006).
