Xoiie of the specimens which I refer to this form are quite 

 well preserved ; still I think I am sufficiently justified in jJacing 

 them under it, as the leaflets exhiliit essentially the same chnracters 

 as the foregoin<j^ species. They are long, linear, 2-2.5 mm. l)road, 

 acute at a|)ex, and somewhat narrowed at base. They are tolerably 

 close together, directed acutely forward, and one of them seems to 

 terminate the leaf. Fig. -i, pi. XXII shows a specimen from Yuasa. 

 Its leaflets possess 7-9 parallel veins. Two fragments from Kaiseki- 

 yama show also 7-i* ^eins. A specimen from Kattiji (tig. 5, pi. XX\ ) 

 has them quite (obliterated. 



Fontaine considers Dioouitrs ahietinus Micj. (Schenk, F(X«^sil Flora 

 d. norddeutsch. AYealdenform. p. 32, pi. XA^I, tig. 1) as referable 

 to this variety oî ZamioplnjUum Bucliiamini, to which indeed it shows 

 a great resemblance.

I possess a large specimen of a Zamioph^dlum from Ishiseki 

 which is undoubtedly referable to the species fonfided by Xathorst. 

 The leaflets are distant, opposite and not tiipering towards the ba.se at 

 which place liowever they are a little contracted. The breadth 

 measures up to 20 mm. Besides this undoubted specimen oï Znmin- 

 phijIlKui XaunuDini, there are many fragments of leaflets from other 

 localities wliich measure 12-15 mm. in breadth, and are broader than 

 those of Z. Biifliidiiinn tignred by Xatliorst and Font:iine, in which the 

 breadth seems never to exceed 10 mm. These are therefore to be
