MIOCENE FLORA— ALASKA. 263 



EL^EODENDKEvE. 



Elseodendron helveticuin, Heer. 



"Fl. Tert. Helv.," i«, P- 71. pi. cxxii, fig. 5. 



Leaves coriaceous, oval, equally narrowed upward to a blunt apex and down- 

 ward to a short petiole; secondary veins (seven) unequally distant, parallel, excepl 

 the lowest, which are a little more oblique and ascending higher parallel to tin- 

 borders; all cainptodrome, arched at a distance from the margins, forming a double 

 series of festoons by anastomosing branches; surface rugose; borders undulate. 



The leaves according to Heer are obtusely dentate on the borders, but 

 part of the margin near the base of the leaf described above is destroyed, 

 and Heer"s fig. 5, loc. cit., shows from the middle upward exactly the 

 same undulations as the Alaska specimen. The only difference remarked 

 on the leaf of Alaska is that it is more distinctly narrowed to the petiole. 

 The specimen bears numerous fragments of Taxodium distichum. 



Hah. — Shumagin, West side of Alaska.
