pi. ii, fig. 2; iii, fig. 4; iv, figs. 8, 9, being merely a little smaller and more 

 enlarged below the middle, with the surface vesicular-dotted. The differ- 

 ence in the characters is not important. This leaf still more distinctly 

 resembles the living Myrtus communis, Linn.

LEGUMINOS^. 



COLUTEA, Linn. 



Colutca boweniana, ep. nov. 



Plate LVII, Fig. 4. 



Leaf odd- pinnate ; leaflets nearly sessile, broadly obovate, obtuse or subeinargin- 

 ate at the apex, cuneate at the base, very entire; lateral nerves oblique, camptodrome. 



The fragment may represent the terminal and one lateral leaflet of 

 some odd-pinnate leaves like those of Colutea, or part of trifoliate ones 

 like those of Cytisus. The leaflets in this last genus are rarely as broad 

 as those of the fragments, which are 18 millimeters in width and a little 

 longer. The terminal leaflet is short-pedicellate, the lateral appear 

 sessile; its base is destroyed. They are much like leaflets of Colutea 

 Salteri, Heer, "Fl. Tert. Helv.," p. 101, pi. cxxxii, figs. 45-47, which have 

 the same form and nervation, being only a little smaller. 



Hah. — Bowen Claim, Oregon.
