Leguminosites omphalobioides Lesq. 



Legimvlno sites omphalohioides Lescj., Fl. Dakota Group, 149, 

 pi. 38, f. 4, 1892. 

 Newb., Fl. Amboy Clays, 97, pi. 42, f. 39, 1896. 



^Description. — Leaflets, elliptical in outline, 3.2 cm. to 4 cm. 

 in length, by 1.5 cm. to 1.7 cm. in greatest breadth, which is 

 about half way between the apex and the base. Texture sub- 

 coriaceous. Apex rather broadly rounded. Base slightly nar- 

 rowed and decurrent to the point of attachment. Lesquereux 

 speaks of a short petiole, but this is lacking in his type figure 

 and in all the specimens examined by the writer. The midrib 

 is not especially wide, but is quite prominent. The secondaries 

 are thin and alternate ; they number about six pairs, and branch 

 from: the midrib at angles of 50^ or somewhat less, curving up- 

 ward close to the margins, camptodrome. 



This species was described originally from' the Dakota Group 

 of Kansas. The Raritan leaf is very close to the type, differing 

 merely in that the outline is more nearly elliptical than it is in 

 the western form. Prof. Newberry failed to^ record the locality 

 from which his specimens were obtained and no' subsequent ma- 

 terial has come to light from the New Jersey clays.
