Description. — "M. foliis coriaceis, petiolatis, ellipticis, integer- 

 rimis, basi in petiolum attenuatis, nervis secundariis an^ilo acuto 

 egredientibus, valde curvatis, camptodromis, alternis tenuiori- 

 bus." Heer, 1866. 



This is a rather poorly defined species whose wide range is 

 based for the most part upon very fragmentary material. It is 

 oblong elliptical in outline, 9 cm. to 15 cm. in length by 3 cm. to 

 7 cm. in breadth, with a stout petiole 5 cm. to 7 cm. in length. 

 Apex pointed. Base cuneate to rounded. Midrib stout. Second- 

 aries stout, separated by tertiaries, camptodrome. 



This species was described originally from the Atane beds of 

 Greenland, and it has since been reported outside of the New 

 Jersey area from the Cenomanian of Bohemia, the Dakota Group 

 in Nebraska, Kansas and Minnesota, the Tuscaloosa formation 

 of Alabama and the Raritan (?) of Long Island. As previously 

 mentioned, all of the references in the foregoing synonymy can- 

 not be vouched for as regards correctness of identification. 



Occurrence. — ^Sayreville, Woodbridge. 



Collections. — N. Y. Botanical Garden.
