Myrtaciphyllum douglasii was named by Christophel and Lys (1986) [Holotype: one mummified leaf (A2672) and one cuticle slide (C2672). Description of holotype: The holotype (A2672) was collected from Lens B at Site I1 of the Alcoa Anglesea Brown Coal Mine (Christophel et al. 1986) in 1985. The leaf is 7.35 cm long by 2.22 cm wide. It is narrow elliptic with an acute base (base angle = 67°). The secondary veins are straight, the average secondary vein angle = 56°. The leaf has an IS1 = 1 (see above). The cuticle is typical for the species (Figs 12 and 13) with the most common subsidiary number being four. The average length of stomates=27.2 µm (mean L/W= 1.23) and the SI= 17.2. The epidermal cells are straight-sided. Lid cells are absent, as are trichomes. Hydathodes are present and scattered with average length = 37.5 µm.]. Its type specimen is Holotype: Specimen 2672, housed in the Palaeobotany Collection, Botany Department, Adelaide University., a leaf (Cuticle), and it is a compression fossil.
