The specimen represented in fig. 6 shows leaflets ns tliey 

 were attached to tlie rachis. Most of these leaflets have about 

 15 veins, and in sliape correspond to what Heer distinguished 

 as variety minor, althouoh some are a little too broad for tliat. 

 The one on the left side and in the lower corner is a long oval 

 in shape. These facts show how variable the leaflets of this 

 plant are, even on the same rachis. 



The specimens shown in lig. ö are isolated leaflets. The 

 one in the right lower corner is the smallest of all the leaflets 

 found at Ch'ing-kang-lin, It has an acute apex witli about 10 

 veins, and resembles the oval one above alluded to. 



The subdivision of this species iuto many varieties according 

 to the form of the leaflets, as has been done ]>y Heet;, is, I 

 believe, not tenable, as already pointed out by ï^ewakd.

The only specimen we possess consists of a fragments of a 

 stem, 2 mm. in l>readth, and ahnost entiicly changed into co;il, 

 on l)Otli sides of which nre attached somewliat ova! or sometimes, 

 slighty (junclrate ))odies about Ö mm. long and o mm. broad, 

 forming quite a close row. It })robably rejiresents an infloi'os- 

 cence of some coniferous or Ginkf/o-Vika tree oi', indeed, of a 

 male eatkin, the oval Ijodies being pollen-sacs.
