Type specimens and other material of Comptonia difformis (Sternberg) Berry (Myricaceae) from the Most Basin, North Bohemia, have been re-investigated in order to obtain more complete information on the leaf morphology, epidermal structure and co-occurring fruits. The history, paleoecology and comparisons with similar fossils from Eurasia and extant Comptonia have been discussed including additional notes on associated pollen and wood anatomy.•
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
