86 THE RARITAX FLORA. 



although if the two species are to be kept separate, a not 

 altogether certain proposition, it is clearly more closely allied 

 to Juniperus hypnoides under which Hollick has already placed 

 it (loc. cit., 1907). Professor Newberry describes its associa- 

 tion at Woodbridge with Dammar a scales and was evidently of 

 the opinion that the one was the fruit of the other. Material in 

 the New York Botanical Garden shows this association, which is 

 probably, however, purely a mechanical one. The type material 

 came from the Atane beds of Greenland, and additional remains 

 are also abundant in the Raritan of Kreischerville, Staten Island, 

 and in the Magothy formation of Martha's Vineyard, New 

 Jersey and Delaware.
