Knobloch (1958)
described leaf forms which he assigned to
Acer palaeosaccharinum
STUR
as follows (translation from Czech): “Leaves 3–5 lobed, base rounded to subcordate, margin widely simple to double dentate with teeth of different size. Venation palmate, basal veins at 40–50°, secondary veins craspedodromous, only slightly bent, tertiary veins forming polygonal fields.” The blades are
16 to 76 mm
long and
18 to 85 mm
wide. The epidermal structure was not preserved.
D i s c u s s i o n. This species prevails in the Knížecí leaf assemblage. As noted above, aberrant leaf forms of
Acer palaeosaccharinum
can be misinterpreted as
A. angustilobum
.
