ELiEODENDREiE. 



ElsBodendron hclvcticuin, Heer. 



"Fl. Tert. Helv.," "'> P- ^l, pi- cxxii, fig. 5. 



Leaves coriaceous^ oval, equally narrowed upward to a bluut apex and down- 

 ward to a short petiole ; secondary veins (seven) unequally distant, parallel, except 

 the lowest, which are a little more oblique and ascending liigher parallel to the 

 borders ; all camptodrome, arched at a distance from the margins, forming a double 

 series of festoons by anastomosing branches ; surface rugose ; borders undulate. 



The leaves according to Heer are obtusely dentate on the borders, but 

 part of the margin near the base of the leaf described above is destroyed, 

 and Heer"s fig. 5, loc. cit., shows from the middle upward exactly the 

 same undulations as the Alaska specimen. The only difference remarked 

 on the leaf of Alaska is that it is more distinctly narrowed to the petiole. 

 The specimen bears numerous fragments of Taxodium distichum.
