Abstract
The extinct species Platanus neptuni (Ettingshausen) Bůžek, Holý & Kvaček, formerly reported on the basis of infructescences, staminate inflorescences and associated foliage from the Late Eocene to Late Miocene deposits of Europe, is now recognized also in North America, based on a population dominating the Late Oligocene Yaquina flora of coastal Oregon.
