Berry: MESOZOIC FLORA OF ATLANTIC COASTAL PLAIN 295 
shallow water or estuarine mollusks of the Ripley formation, 
and in the McNairy sand of Tennessee, is markedly distinct from 
any described species of Bauhinia. It is much smaller and less 
deeply divided than Bauhinia gigantea Newberry or Bauhinia 
alabamensis Berry, and is much less ornate in character. It is, 
on the other hand, much larger than Bauhinia marylandicus 
Berry of the Magothy formation in the Maryland area. It 
differs from all of these American Cretaceous species in its pointed, 
outwardly-directed lobes, but is not unlike a number of existing 
species of this genus. : 3

This remarkable large-leafed species has been somewhat fully 
described and figured recently. The type was based on nearly 
perfect material from the Lower Eutaw of McBrides Ford, Georgia. 
This species has also been recorded from the Cusseta sand member 
of the Ripley formation at Buena Vista, Georgia. It is present 
in the Black Creek formation of North Carolina and Mr. Wade's 
recent collections contain fragmentary but characteristic speci- 
mens from both the Eutaw and Ripley formations of Tennessee.
