Berry, in " The Flora of the Raritan Formation," says : " It is one 

 of the commonest Cenomanian species occurring in Minnesota, Kan- 

 sas, and Nebraska, in the west, and from Greenland to Alabama, in the 

 east. It is as common in the overlying Magothy formation as it is in 

 the Raritan, being recorded from Marthas Vineyard, New Jersey, 

 Delaware, and Maryland. It also is present in the Bladen formation 

 of North Carolina."

Description: The leaf is 12.5 cm. long and 2.5 cm. wide. It is 

 lanceolate, entire, gradually narrowing to the petiole ; apex acuminate. 

 The median nerve is not very prominent. The secondaries are thin, 

 parallel, mostly opposite, curved up toward the border and down in 

 reaching the midrib. The secondaries emerge from the midrib at an 

 angle of 20°-25°. The petiole is apparently very short, or the leaf 

 may be almost sessile.
