BERRY: MESOZOIC FLORA OF ATLANTIC COASTAL PLAIN 177 
This is an exceedingly variable species, and Lesquereux estab- 
lished several varieties of which at least one, i. e., var. lineartfolia, 
referable to Salix flexuosa Newberry. Some of Lesquereux’s 
forms are distinguishable with difficulty from the latter. In 
general, Salix Lesquereuxii is a relatively much broader, more 
ovate form with more numerous and better seen 1 secondaries and 
a longer petiole. 
This species is an exceedingly abundant Upper Cretaceous type 
in both the East and the West, ranging in the Atlantic Coastal 
Plain from the base of the Raritan formation to the top of the 
Tuscaloosa formation, and possibly through the Eutaw formation 
as well. It is abundant in the Magothy, Black Creek, and 
Middendorf beds. In the West it is common in the Dakota sand- 
stone. It is one of the forms recorded by Kurtz from the Upper 
Cretaceous of Argentina, indicating, if the identification is correct, 
a very considerable migration during the early Upper Cretaceous. 
In Alabama it ranges from the bottom to the top of the Tuscaloosa 
formation. 
It has not yet been discovered in the Woodbine sand of Texas 
but appears to have been common in the upper member of the 
- Bingen sand of Arkansas. 
OcCURRENCE: Big Railroad Cut, one mile southwest of Max- 
well Spur; Adams Kaolin cuts near Murfreesboro, Pike County.

This species has been found to be quite variable in size, ranging 
in length from 11 cm. to 22 cm. and in width from 1.9 cm. to 3.7 
cm. It is usually widest in the lower half of the leaf, although 
sometimes the base is quite narrow and the widest part is toward 
the middle. In all unequivocal material the upper half of the leaf
