Podopterus antiqua MANCHESTER et O’LEARY

A fruit of Podopterus antiqua was previously figured as Ulmus rhamnifolia WARD by Brown (1962, pl. 24, fig. 18). The fruits are obovate, composed of three longitudinal chartaceous wings with an emarginate apex and cuneate base, an elliptical, single-seeded endocarp, and narrow pedicel. The wings have a dense anastomosing network of fine venation but lack a distinct marginal vein. All of these features conform well to those seen in the modern genus Podopterus ( Manchester and O’Leary 2010).
