992 BERRY: MESOZOIC FLORA OF ATLANTIC COASTAL PLAIN 
often extended and attenuated. Petiole and midrib stout 
Secondaries regular, open, thin, ascending, camptodrome, branch- 
ing from the midrib at angles of forty-five degrees or more. 1€X- 
ture coriaceous or subcoriaceous. Length about 17cm. Greatest 
width about 4 cm. 
This species was described by Heer from Moletein in Moravia 
(Cenomanian), and it has been subsequently identified from a 
large number of American localities. In the West it occurs 5 
the Dakota sandstone of Kansas and Colorado; in the East it is 
common from Martha’s Vineyard and Block Island to Alabama 
and is present between these limits in Maryland, North Carolina 
and South Carolina. It occurs in the lower Eutaw of Georgia 
and the present record extends its range upward to near the top 
of the Eutaw. 
Associated with this species at the type locality in Moravia 
are similar leaves which were described by Professor Heer as 4 
different species, Ficus Mohliana. These are somewhat larger 
with a more sparse secondary venation. It seems probable that 
these merely represent the somewhat larger leaves of Ficus 
Krausiana, but they are not united with it in view of the lack ot 
positive evidence, because Ficus Mohliana has priority and this 
would involve the change of name of this well-known type and 
horizon marker. In both North and South Carolina fruits are 
found associated with this species, but whether they are related 
to it or to some of the other rather numerous species of Ficus 
which occur at the same localities can not be determined.
