Leaves of comparatively large size, oblong-lanceolate, about 15 

 cm. in length by about 2.6 cm. in greatest breadth, which is about 

 midway between the apex and base. Apex acuminate. Base 

 pointed, narrowly cuneate. Midrib short. Secondaries thin, close, 

 parallel, branching from the midrib at angles not exceeding and usu- 

 ally somewhat less than 45^, ascending, nearly straight or some- 

 what flexuous, branching and inosculating near the margin where 

 they merge in the tertiary venation, connected by transverse nervilles. 



This species was described originally from the terminal moraine 

 at Tottenville, Staten Island, and undoubtedly represents trans- 

 ported Raritan materials. Three specimens are contained in the 

 Milltown collection and the writer has also collected it from some- 

 what higher horizons south of New Jersey. It is somewhat Hke 

 LanropJijdhim lanceolaii^m Newberry but has a markedly different 

 venation and a less lanceolate outline. It is also quite close to 

 Laiirophylhini elegans Hollick, which is, however, a more slender 

 lanceolate leaf, with narrowly produced apex and base and a some- 

 what coarser venation, with less close and more curved campto- 

 drome secondaries.

Leaves elongate-lanceolate, somewhat flexuous, about 12—13 

 cm. in length by about 2 cm. in greatest width, which is about 

 midway between the apex and the base; from this point they 

 narrow gradually apically into an attenuated, acuminate, usually 

 curved tip, and basally into a long, narrowly cuneate base. Midrib
