SAPINDACEAE 

 SAPINDOPSIS SCHULTZI, new species 



Plate 1, Figure 7 



The specimen reproduced here was apparently a leaflet of a com- 

 pound leaf as inferred from its markedly unequal base and from 

 the fact that on another block in this collection are fragments of 

 four such leaflets all oriented in the same direction and about 

 equally spaced as if they had been attached to a rachis. Unfor- 

 tunately the rock is broken off at that line, leaving this inference 

 unproved. The leaflet is elliptic in form, with low crenate-serrate 

 teeth on the margin and an inequilateral base. Length 3 cm, width 

 1.2 cm. The venation is pinnate with five or six pairs of secondaries 

 emerging from the midrib at 60°, looping upward well within the 

 margin to the secondary above. Finer venation obscure. 



Following a precedent in regard to indefinite Cretaceous Sapinda- 

 ceae, I venture to assign this species to Sapindopsis, because of its 

 resemblance to S. helvf'derends Berry.^° That species, however, 

 is larger, with coarsely toothed margins. I name this species for 

 A. E. Schultz.
