Abstract
SummaryPresent‐day Cercocarptis leaves are compared with fossil leaf impressions from Miocene, Pliocene and Pleistocene floras of California and adjacent states in order to interpret the present pattern of geographic variation in leaf size in southern California. The various taxa described have had separate histories since at least the Miocene, and have remained morphologically stable despite changes in the climate and topography in the region.
