LaUROPHYLLUM tANCEOIvATUM Newb. 



Laurophylliiui lanceolatum Newb., Fl. Amboy Clays, 87, pi. i'/, 

 f. I, 12, 1896. 



Description. — Leaves broadly lanceolate in outline and 

 coriaceous in texture. Nine cm. tO' 15 cm. in length, by 1.8 cm. 

 to 3 cm. in width, the minimum rather than the maximum being 

 the usual dimensions. Apex more extendefd than the base, 

 obtusely pointed. Base cuneate, acute. Midrib stout, as is the 

 short petiole. Secondaries fine, usually obsolete, 12 to 15 pairs, 

 subequal, alternate, branching from the midrib at an angle of 

 abo'ut 45° and curving upward, camlptodrome. Leaf surface 

 noticeably smooth. 



This species, which came originally from the Woodbridge 

 locality, where it is common, is equally common at Milltown. 

 It appears to be confined toi the New Jersey Raritan, and sug- 

 gests somewhat the leaves which have been referred to Lauriis 

 phitonia Heer, from which it may be distinguished in the absence 

 of venation by its texture. 



Occurrence. — Woodbridge, Milltown. 



Collectiofis. — N. Y. Botanical Garden.
