Acer browni
[edit]- ... that the extinct, Miocene age, maple Acer browni ranged from southern Oregon to the north shore of the Haida Gwaii?
- Reviewed: Leptogorgia virgulata
- Comment: pages 76 and 225 of Wolfe and Tanai are used for the hook.

age, size and sourcing check out - I reckon the hook would be improved by the addition of "X million years ago" to it (a when as well as a where) Casliber (talk · contribs) 13:30, 11 December 2011 (UTC)

- Shame I'm not still in Berkeley, or I could have popped in and taken a photo of one of the type specimens. The only Miocene fossil maple photo I have is for a specimen from Shandong, China. --EncycloPetey (talk) 21:04, 11 December 2011 (UTC)

- QUESTION do you want this separate from Template:Did you know nominations/Acer browni, Acer nipponicum or do you want to withdraw this nomination.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 20:24, 15 December 2011 (UTC)
- See my comment on the other nom, I linked to A. browni in that nom by mistake and have withdrawn it as a result. I have created a nom with the correct species Acer smileyi and Acer nipponicum here.--Kevmin § 20:33, 15 December 2011 (UTC)
