196 BERRY: MESOZOIC FLORA OF THE COASTAL PLAIN 
tion except that the figures of the Kansas leaves (types, 478 and 
532a, Mus. Comp. Zoology) do not show any marginal vein, 
although Lesquereux mentions one in his description. The latter 
species has been detected southward along the western shore of 
the Mississippi embayment in the Woodbine formation of Texas 
and is of a more coriaceous texture, with more obtuse tip and with 
the secondaries going off at an angle of 60°. Another very simi- 
lar species is Ficus atavina Heer (see Fl. Foss. Arct. 3°: 108. 
pl. 29. f. 2b; pl. 30. f. 1-8. 1874) which ranges from the Atane 
and Patoot beds of western Greenland southward along the Atlantic 
coastal plain to Marthas Vineyard, Glen Cove, Long Island, and 
Cliffwood, N. J. (all probably of Magothy age). 
The North Carolina leaf has full rounded basal margins (rather. 
straight in /. afavina) with less ascending secondaries, which are also 
twice as numerous as in /. afavina; the marginal vein is also closer 
to the margin. Another similar species, perhaps identical with the 
previous one, is Micus Peruni Velen.* from the Cenomanian of Bo- 
hemia, which differs from the North Carolina leaf in the same re- 
spect in which / atavina Heer differs. Velenovsky points out 
the great simiarity between / Peruni and Eucalyptus Geinitsi 
Heer, a similarity which is more striking in the forms which he 
has referred to this species of Eucalyptus than it is in the leaves 
usually so identified by other paleobotanists. 
Several specimens of Ficus fruits were found at Court House 
Bluff and at Elizabethtown farther down the river, and these may 
possibly be from the same trees which furnished these large leaves. 
OccuRRENCE: Court House Bluff, Cape Fear River. 
ROSALES 
Leguminosites robiniifolia sp. nov. 
Sessile elliptical leaflets about 2.5 cm. in length by 1.5 cm. in 
greatest width, which is slightly below the middle. Apex and 
base obtusely rounded, the former slightly narrower than the latter. 
Midrib moderately stout. Secondaries obsolete. 
Better material of this species, as yet undescribed, was col- 
lected in the Middendorf formation of South Carolina. 
OccuRRENCE: Court House Bluff, Cape Fear River.
