The occurrence of this species in the Raritan formation is 

 based upon a single fragmentary specimen, figured by Prof. 

 Newberry from South Amboy. The species was described, 

 originally, from the Cenomanian of Moravia, and was sub- 

 sequently recorded in considerable abundance from the Ceno- 

 manian of Bohemia and the Dakota Group of the west. The 

 New Jersey material, as far as it goes, agrees very well with, the 

 more typical material from elsewhere, especially that from 

 Bohemia. It may be distinguished from Aralia zvellingtoniana 

 Lesq., the only other Raritan Aralia which is not entire margined 

 by the obtuselv pointed lobes, always three in number, the decur- 

 rent base, and by the coarse undulate-dentate teeth. 



Occurrence. — South Amboy. 



Collections. — N. Y. Botanical Garden.
