Hi everyone, I wanted to confirm the identity of one of the leaves I found in Florissant, CO back in 2017. At one point or another I saw the genus Cedrelospermum pop up on here or instagram associated with a leaf which caught my eye in its similarity to my own. I would be interested in seeing your opinions.

I have doubts that it is Cedrelospermum. Here is a partial quote from the book Fossils of Florissant. " have veins that characteristically branch from the bottom sides of secondary veins and end in the sinuses between teeth".

Sorry for the late reply, this is most likely Fagopsis Longifolia.
