“…The leaves of most Chrysobalanaceae are coriaceous, simple, and pinnate; with entire margins and eucamptodromous to brochidodromous secondary venation (Prance and White, 1988). Thus, identifying the leaves to genus‐level can be challenging and is further complicated by convergence in general leaf architecture between Chrysobalanaceae and many other tropically distributed angiosperm families (Prance, 1972; Prance and White, 1988; Corrêa et al, 2015). Fossil leaves assigned to Chrysobalanaceae only by their shape and major venation characters should be treated with extreme caution (Table 1).…”
