BERRY: MESOZOIC FLORA OF THE COASTAL PLAIN 25 
secondaries next above. From the outer side of these successive 
arches short tertiaries run to the marginal teeth in those parts of 
the leaf in which the teeth are developed. (PLATE 8, FIGURE I.) 
This very handsome and well-marked species is represented 
by a number of specimens from Grove Point. It finds its nearest 
relative in certain of the larger and more orbicular variants of the 
Upper Raritan and Magothy species, Ce/astrophyllum Newberry- 
anum Hollick; in fact, it would seem reasonable to suppose that 
the present species, which has thus far been found only at the 
extreme top of the Magothy formation at Grove Point, may be 
descended from Ce/astrophyllum Newberryanum, which character- 
izes particularly the Upper Raritan at South Amboy, New Jersey. 
The writer was long undecided whether or not to refer the new 
species to Celastrophyllum or Elaeodendron and it may also seem 
preferable eventually to transfer C. Newderryanum to the latter 
genus, with which it shows many characters in common. The 
present species may be compared with Elaeodendron dioicum 
Griseb., from the West Indies. The genus E/aeodendron has 
mainly a Tertiary history, although Hollick has described a Mag- 
othy species recently from Gay Head (L/aeodendron strictum).* 
RHAMNALES 
Cissites formosus magothiensis var. nov. 
While Cissztes formosus as identified by Heer, Lesquereux, and 
Newberry is a form of considerable variability, the Magothy 
variety, which comes from Grove Point, is sufficiently distinct to 
deserve at least a varietal name. It lacks the long bifurcated 
lateral lobes of the type and has an elongated terminal lobe, the 
whole less sublobate than in the type material.
