Paranymphaea crassifolia (NEWBERRY) BERRY
Leaves of Paranymphaea crassifolia (NEWBERRY) BERRY were studied in detail by McIver and Basinger (1993) who demonstrated that the leaf architecture is very distinct from that of Nymphaea and other Nymphaeaceae and appears instead to be diagnostic of Polygonaceae , e.g., Polygonum and Rheum . This is distinctive leaf type is mostly confined to the lower Paleocene of the Rocky Mountain region.
