Engeron strigosus var. Beyricha, T. & G. Fl N. A. 22 175 
(1843). 
This rare and distinct form has lately been collected by Dr. 
Mohr in Alabama, growing on calcareous hills near Russel- 
ville. The plant was first found by Beyrich in ‘Carolina,’ and 
later discoveries show it to range from “Carolina” to Florida, 
St. Marks (Rugel) to Indian Territory, on the False Washita 
(Palmer, 470). 
Coreopsis INTEGRIFOLIA Poir. in Lam. Encycl. Suppl. 2: 353 
(1811). . 
Fine specimens of a Coreopsis, which apparently belong to the 
above species, have been secured by Mr. A. H. Curtiss from the 
region between Jacksonville and Trout Creek, Florida. Authen- 
tic material of C. integrifolia is meagre, but I have carefully com- 
pared the Florida plants with it and find the two almost identical. 
The flowers, rays and styles are alike, and the leaves agree very 
well in shape, but those found by Mr. Curtiss have somewhat 
longer petioles. The plants grow on borders of wet thickets and 
Were in flower and fruit on October 21, 1893. 
A New Fossil Nelumbo from the Laramie Group at 
Florence, Colo. 
By ARTHUR HOLLICK. 
NELUMBO LARAMIENSIS Nn. sp. 
| Leaf orbicular, about 134’ in diameter, with wavy mar- 
$!n, centrally peltate ; primary nerves strong, diverging somewhat 
regularly from the centre, forked 1-several times, connected by 
Cfoss-nervation which is slightly angled or bent outward, espe- 
Cially near the margin. 
This little leaf was found in a collection of fossil plants made 
by Mr. George Hadden from the Laramie group at Florence, 
Colorado, for the late Dr. J. S. Newberry. Its affinities with the 
Senus Neluméo can hardly be questioned, and it is clearly different 
from every other fossil species thus far described from this country. 
In regard to the foreign species I can not be so certain, as some of 
these have been described or merely named but not figured, and
