Ilex ? elongata Newb. 



Ilex ? elongata Newb., Fl. Amboy Clays, 98, pi. 18, f. i, 5, 1896. 



Description. — Leaves of relative large size for this genus, 

 lanceolate in outline, 10 cm. to 13 cm. in length, by 3 cm. in 

 greatest breadth. Apex and base acute. Margin with remote 

 spiny teeth. Midrib, stout. Secondaries thin, apparently cras- 

 pedo'drome, branching from the midrib at an acute angle in the 

 middle of the leaf, but at a much wider angle toward the apex. 



This species is based upon the two incomplete specimens figured 

 by Prof. Newberry (loc. cit.), which are the only specimens that 

 have ever been collected. Consequently, the diagnosis is some- 

 what incomplete, the generic relationship is uncertain and the 

 reference tO' Ilex can only be provisional. 



Occurrence. — Sayreville. 



Collections. — N. Y. Botanical Garden.
