BERRY: MESOZOIC FLORA OF ATLANTIC COASTAL PLAIN 293 
This species is closely allied to the Raritan species Ficus 
Woolsont Newberry, differing primarily in its greater elongation 
and in the tendency of the former to a cordate outline. Ficus 
ovatifolia was described originally from the Raritan formation 
of New Jersey. It is present in the Black Creek formation of 
North Carolina and in the lower part of the Eutaw formation 
in Georgia.

; Leaves palmately decompound, the petiole dividing into three 
principal branches, the angle of divergence varying from twenty 
to sixty degrees, and the two lateral branches forking at an acute 
angle 1~2 cm. above their base. The middle leaflet lanceolate in 
outline, being widest in its central part and tapering almost 
equally to the acute apex and base. Length 7.5-16cm. Greatest 
width 1-4 cm. Margin entire or serrate, usually entire below 
and serrate in the apical three-fourths, sometimes with large 
aqualine-serrate teeth. Midrib stout. Secondaries regular, sub- 
opposite, parallel; about twenty pairs, branching from the midrib 
at angles varying from forty-five to seventy degrees, usually about 
fifty degrees, curving upward and running to the marginal teeth, 
or camptodrome. The base of the leaflet extends downward to 
within 2 or 3 mm. of the forks of the petiole. Lateral leaflets 
more or less inequilateral, usually somewhat smaller than the 
middle leaflet. The internal lateral leaflet is lanceolate, the 
outer lamina starting at or very near the point where the lateral 
branch of the petiole forks. The inner lamina, however, extends 
downward almost to the base of the lateral branch, making the 
base markedly inequilateral. In general outline, marginal and 
venation characters, it is identical with the middle leaflet. The 
outer lateral leaflet is also somewhat inequilateral, but less so 
than the internal lateral leaflet, the internal lamina starting at
