174 Berry: Mesozoic flora of the coastal plain 



Nelumbium Lakesianutn and N. tenuifolium of Lesquereux from the 

 Denver and Laramie respectively. 



I am of the opinion, however, that this difference in venation 

 is almost entirely dependent upon the size of the leaves. 



We have in these Long Island and New Jersey specimens the 

 earliest known record of the genus, in species whose leaves are 

 practically indistinguishable from those of the living Nelumbo lutea. 



Magnolia auriculata Newb. ; Hollick, Bull. Torrey Club 21 : 



61. pi. ijg.f. 6, 7. 1894. 



This species is rather common in the Magothy formation at 

 Grove Point, Md. 



Magnolia tenuifolia Lesq. Am. Jour. Sci. 46 : 100. 1868. 



Plate 7, figure i. 



Additional material more complete than that figured occurs in 

 the Magothy formation at Deep Cut, Delaware. 



Liriodendron morganensis sp. nov. 



Length along the midrib 7 cm., breadth across the lower lobes 

 9 to 10 cm. Apical sinus deeply and broadly rounded. Lobes 

 stout and bluntly rounded, the lower directed laterally. Midrib 

 and petiole very stout. 



Several perfect specimens were collected from the Magothy 



formation at Morgan, N. J., and they will be fully described and 



illustrated in the Report of the State Geologist of New Jersey for 



1905. 



Carpites Liriophvlli Lesq. Cret. &Tert. Fl. yy. pi. u.f.5. 1883. 

 Unmistakable remains of this species, which was originally 

 described from Morrison, Colorado, occur at Deep Cut, Del. 

 They undoubtedly represent the fruit-remains of some contempor- 

 ary species of Uriodcndron. 



Rosales 

 Platanus Kummelii sp. nov. 



Leaves large, palmately trilobate when mature, triple-veined 

 from the base which is cuneate and entire. Margin sharply and 

 widely serrate. Main sinuses deep and rather narrow for this 

 genus, rounded. Petiole, midrib and lateral primaries stout. 

 Secondaries nearly straight. Tertiary venation characteristically 

 platanoid.
