DESCRirTION OF SPECIES— BtTTTNEElACE^. 255 



tlio primary and secondary nerves (liick, joined by strong, parallel, arched 

 nervilles, the lateral primary ones [sparingly branching, the others mostly 

 simple; they are broadly ovate, enlarged in the middle into two very short, 

 obtuse lobes, and deeply cordate at the base. The relation of the species is 

 marked with D. lobata, Ung. (Gen. et Sp., p. 447), published by the same 

 author as Ficus Bomheyopsh (Sillog, i, p. 13, pi. v, tigs. 1-5), and referred 

 by Schimper to Sterculia. The European leaves are longer, more distinctly 

 lobate, and rather palmately five-nerved. 



Habitat. — Above Spring Canon, near Fort Ellis, Montana ( Wm. Savage).

 Dombeyopsis irivialia, Lesqx., Annual Report, 1872, p. 380 ;. 1873, j). 404. 



Leaf comparatively small, deeply cordate, nearly square in outline, three- to five-lobed, obtuse; 

 nervation tripalmato, craspododrome. 



The leaves of this species, smaller than those of the former, still difler by 

 the nervation, being much less deeply marked, all the nerves narrower, and 

 the secondary veins few, placed ia the upper part of the leaves, at a great 

 distance from the base. Two lower veinlets, from the top of the petiole, show 

 this leaf as subpeltate and five-palmate. The lobes also, two on each side, 

 are more defined, though obtuse. The substance is not as thick. 



Habitat. — Golden, Colorado. 



Dombeyopsis obtiisa, Lesqz. 



Plate XLVII, Figs. 4, 5. 

 Domheyopm ohiusa, Lesqx., Annual Report, 1872, p. 375. 



Leaves subcoriaceous, very entire, round-oval, obtuse, cordate; nervation tbree-palmate. 



This species seems closely allied to D. platanoides, and may be a variety 

 of it. The primary veins are not quite as thick ; the secondary ones are 

 inequidistant, and mostly in the upper part of the leaves, which, as seen 

 from the direction of the lateral primary nerves, which curve inward and are 

 effaced before reaching the borders, are oval, entire, or without lobes. The 

 nervilles, as far as they can be seen (fig. 4), are close and straight. 



Habitat. — Golden, Colorado.
