texture of the leaf and its smooth surface do not contradict this reference ; 

 .for all the species of willows of the Dakota Group are coriaceous, as are

 Hab. — Blackbird Hill, Nebraska. Dr. Hayden. 



Quercus cuneata, Newby. 

 " Notes on Ext. Fl.," p. 25. 



Leaves short, petiolate, lanceolate, pointed at both ends, acute, entire, or slightly 

 ■wave-margined ; midrib strong ; secondary veins remote, nearly straight, with short
