188 BERRY: MESOZOIC FLORA OF ATLANTIC COASTAL PLAIN 
and from the Raritan upward to the Black Creek formation. 
It is common in the Tuscaloosa formation of western Alabama 
but has not heretofore been collected from the Upper Cretaceous 
of the Western Gulf area. It is present in the lower, but has not 
as yet been recognized in the upper member of the Bingen sand. 
OccURRENCE: Mine Creek, three and one half miles north of 
Nashville, Howard County.

Leaves small, thick, and entire, with stout petioles and midribs 
and obscure secondary venation which is immersed in the thick’ 
lamina. Length 2.5-5.0 cm. Width varying from 0.9-1.3 cm. 
Venation, where visible, showing numerous parallel, camptodrome, 
relatively long and thin secondaries which branch from the midrib 
at acute angles. While the majority of these leaves are equally 
acuminate at both ends there is considerable variation in this 
respect, and a well-marked tendency is shown in a considerable 
number of specimens which are relatively broader, especially in 
the upper half, toward an obtusely rounded apex, the termination 
of the midrib showing as a small mucronate point. The base in 
these forms gradually narrows to the stout petiole. 
This species is found as early as the uppermost Raritan in the 
New Jersey area and is also common in the everlying Magothy. 
It is exceedingly common throughout the Black Creek formation 
of the Carolinas and has also been recorded from the Cusseta 
sand member of the Ripley formation in Georgia, and from the 
Eutaw formation of Tennessee. It occurs also in the Woodbine 
of Texas and the Tuscaloosa of Alabama so that it is apparently 
a form with a wide stratigraphic range. 
OccURRENCE: Mine Creek, three and one half miles north of 
Nashville, Howard County.
