FLORA OF THE GREEN RIVER GROUP. 165 



The basilar border of the leaf is decurrent along the petiole, which 

 is scarcely 2 millimeters long for a leaf 4 centimeters long, 1 centimeter 

 broad in the middle. The affinity of this leaf is with the living Santahm 

 lanceolatiim, Brown. From the fossil species published, it differs in the 

 very short petiole and the blunt apex of the leaves.

The leaf from Florissant more distinctly represents this species than 

 that ("Rep." vii) from Montana. There is still a small difference from 

 the European form in the position of the lateral nerves descending lower, 

 nearly to the top of the petiole, and the basilar borders more distinctly 

 decurrent. These deviations from the normal character are, however, 

 somewhat indicated in a few of the numerous figures given by Heer of 

 this species.

Plate XXXir, Fig. 21. 



Seeds obliquely oval, winged; wings oblong, obtuse, larger on one side, distinctly 

 striate lengthwise by 5 or 6 parallel black lines converging at the apex. 



The seeds resemble those described as Banksia Badohojensis, Ung., 

 "Syllog.." iii, p. 75, pi. xxiv, figs. 16, 17. 



ifrt^,. —Florissant; not rare, but as yet no leaves referable to this 

 genus have been found there. 



LOMATIA, R. Br. 



Leaves coriaceous, pinnately laciniate or acutely lobed; divisions oblique, lance- 

 olate, acute or acuminate, nerved in the middle, decurrent along the medial nerve or 

 connected by a narrow wing at the basilar margin.
