MYRTALES. 193 



Eucalyptus ? parvifolia Newb. 



Eucalyptus ? parvifolia Newb., Fl., Amboy Clays, 112, pi. ^2, f. 

 p-io, 1896. 



Description. — Leaves small, lanceolate in outline, 5 cm. to 6 

 cm. in length by i.i cm. to 1.3 cm. in greatest width, which is 

 about midway between the apex and the base, both of which are 

 equally acute. Margins entire. Petiole apparently short. Mid- 

 rib stout. Secondaries rather line and remote, camptodrome 

 somewhat angular; there are 9 or 10 subopposite to alternate 

 pairs which branch from the midrib at angles of about 45° or less 

 and inosculate at a considerable distance from the margin, there 

 being no marginal vein present as in the usual leaves of this 

 genus. 



While it seems probable that this species is not referable to the 

 genus Bucalyptus, nor related to the other leavQS from the Rari- 

 tan formation which are here referred to that genus, the material 

 is so scanty and time-worn that it has seemed wisest to retain it 

 as identified by Prof. Newberry rather than to attempt a re- 

 identification which could not be made with any degree of con- 

 clusiveness. 



This species has been recorded from the Tuscaloosa formation 

 of Alabama, but like many other specimens from different local- 

 ities in the Coastal Plain, so identified by Ward, it is not iden- 

 tical with Newberry's leaves, but is referable to Salix or Laurus>. 



This restricts the occurrence of the present species to the upper 

 Raritan beds at South Amboy and emphasizes the singular variety 

 and abundance of these supposed Eucalyptus leaves at this single 

 horizon in the late Raritan. 



Occurrence. — South Amboy. 



Collections. — N. Y. Botanical Garden.
