The Miocene Seldovia Point flora from the Kenai Group, Alaska

Abstract

Approximately 60 species of megafossil plants are illustrated and are assigned to 45 genera. Most of the species are dicotyledonous, although monocotyledons, ginkgo, conifers, and ferns are also rep resented. Nine species of dicotyledons and one species of monocotyledon are described as new. The flora includes the first de scribed representatives of Cyclocarya, Nymphar, Sorbaria, Pueraria, Decodon, Kalopanax, Lonicera, and Alisma in the North American Tertiary.
