Description. — "Z. foliis magnis, foliolis elongato-lanceolatis, 

 23 mm. latis, apicem versus sensim angustatis, multinerviis, late 

 et fortiter marginatis." Heer, 1882. 



Leaflets large, 15 cm. to 20 cm. in length by 2.3 cm. to 4 cm. 

 in breadth, lanceolate in outline, somewhat falcate. Apex ob- 

 tusely pointed. Proximally somewhat abruptly narrowed to an 

 apparently thickened base. Veins numerous, close, fine, parallel. 



Remains of a large parallel-veined leaf, apparently a leaflet of 

 Podozamites, are not uncommon in the Raritan deposits, although 

 unfortunately they are usually fragmentary. They seem to be 

 identical with the type material of this species described by Heer 

 from the Atane beds of Greenland, which ranges southwards 

 along the Atlantic coastal plain as far as Alabama.
