quereux compared his leaf to Celastrophyllum lanceolatum 

 Ettings. and Newberry in discussing- Velenovsky's treatment of 

 Myrica Zenkeri, is quite positive that the present species is a 

 Celastrophyiluni. The evidence for this is by no means as con- 

 clusive as Newberry thought it was, and it will probably be 

 demonstrated in the future that the present species is a Myrica 

 and not a Celastrophyiluni^ another alternative being to regard it 

 as a species of Dryandroidcs, the genus to which Ettingshausen 

 orig-inaJly referred Myrica Zciikeri. 



This species apparently ranges throughout the Raritan, the 

 writer being able to add Milltown and South Amboy to the 

 recorded localities. 



Occurrence. — Woodbridge, South Amboy, Milltow-n. 



Collections.— U. S. National Museum, N. Y. Botanical Garden. 



Celastrophyllum cretaceum Lesq. 



Celastrophyllmn cretaceum Lesq., Fl. Dakota Group, 173, pi. ^8, 

 f. 12-14, 1892- 

 Newb., Fl. Amboy Clays, 100, pi. 42, f. jj, 1896. 



Description: — Leaves small, 2 cm. to 4 cm. in length by 0.9 cm. 

 to^ 1.2 cm. in breadth, elliptical or oblong in outline. Apex ob- 

 tusely rounded. Base narrowed, giving- some of the leaves an 

 almost spatulate outline. Texture thick, subcoriaceous. Margin 

 entire throughout. Midrib comparatively stout. Secondaries 

 slender, branching from the midrib at an angle of 30° to 40°, 

 slightly curved, distant, parallel, often obsolete, camptodrome. 



These leaves, which occur in some abundance in the Dakota 

 Group of Kansas and reappearing in the Raritan, are by no 

 means satisfactorily correlated w'ith the genus Celastrophyiluni 

 and suggest some Ericaceous genus. 



This species is not contained in any recent collections from 

 New Jersey, and New^berry again failed to record the localities 

 from which his material was obtained. 



Occurrence. — Locality unknown. 



Collections. — N. Y. Botanical Garden.
