RAN ALES. 1 35 



While this species is reported from such widely separated 

 points as Marthas Vineyard and Kansas, it is nowhere abundant, 

 and is usually poorly preserved, suggesting that the leaves were 

 readily macerated. It also occurs in unreported collections frcwn 

 the Magothy formation in Maryland. 



Occurrence. — Woodbridge.

Description. — Leaves oblong-ovate in outline, apparently about 

 18 cm. in length, by 6 cm. or 7 cm. in breadth, wdiich was below 

 the middle. Apex obtusely rounded. Base usually cuneate. 

 Midrib and petiole very stout, the latter unusually long, reaching 

 12 cm. or 13 cm. in some specimens. Secondaries camptodrome, 

 relatively thin and remote, 10 to 12 pairs, branching from the 

 midrib at an angle of about 45° and soon curving upward to 

 join a branch from the secondary next above. This forms a series 

 of large arches which approximately parallel the margin and 

 constitute one of the distinctive characters of this species, another 

 being the long petiole and the oblong, almost straight-sided, 

 shape. 



This was a very striking Magnolia and is frequent in the 

 Raritan at Woodbridge. Fragmentary specimens which have 

 been correlated with these remains are reported from Long 

 Island. It is apparently quite different in appearance from any 

 of the other Cretaceous species of Magnolia, although it sug- 

 gests somewhat a gigantic form of Magnolia woodbridgensis. 



Occurrence. — Woodbridge.
