Leaves ovate-lanceolate, about 8 cm. long by 2.5 cm. in great- 
est width; broadest at the evenly rounded or slightly acute base, 
narrowing gradually upward, the apex narrow and extended but 
obtusely pointed. Leaf substance thin but persistent, evidently 
coriaceous in life, as these leaves occur abundantly at a locality 
where all the vegetable remains were thoroughly macerated 
before entombment. Secondaries four to six pairs, subopposite, 
curved upward, camptodrome, branching from the midrib at an 
acute angle, the lowest pair branching from the top of the petiole 
and extending upward halfway to the apex or farther, giving the 
leaf a triple-veined appearance. Perhaps they should be termed 
lateral primaries, although they are much finer than the fairly 
stout midrib. The next pair of secondaries branch at a less acute 
angle, a considerable distance above the base, one third to one 
half the distance to the apex. Tertiary venation typically 
lauraceous. 7 
The present species may possibly be confused with Cina 
mum Heerii when only the basal part of the leaf is found, but the 
general proportions and characters of the whole leaf are perfectly 
distinct. he

species, chiefly of the Oriental tropics, and is well represented in
