MESOZOIC PLANTS FROM NAQATO AND BITCHU. 9 



7. NILSSONIA INOUYEI Yok. 



PI. I. Fig. 4. PI. II. Fig. 4. 



Leaf elongated, narrow, sides nearly parallel, 8-12 mm broad, 

 entire, bluntly pointed at apex. Midrib more or less straight, 

 moderately strong. Lateral veins fine, straight, parallel, dense, 

 slightly inclined forward. 



This species first found by Mr. Inouye is represented by 

 only a few specimens. Fig. 4, pi. II shows one which, though 

 not quite complete, illustrates the general character of a leaf. It 

 is about 12 mm at the broadest part, tapering very slightly 

 toward front and back. Fig. 4, pi. I represents a part of a 

 narrower leaf. 



The species exhibits a great resemblance to Nilssonia ozoana 

 Yok. {Jurassic Plants from Kaga, Hida and 'JEchize7i, p. 42, pi. 

 JT, ßg. 2b, 11-14). But the veins are coarser, there being 2-3 

 to a millimeter, while in the latter we can count 4 such in the 

 same space.

What I had formerly suspected to be a Baiera proved, 

 not only to belong to that genus, but also to a form already
