This species ranges from New Jersey to Alabama. It is very 

 common at the pits of the Cliffwood Brick Company in the former 

 state and is also found at Deep Cut, Del., and Grove Point, Md. 

 Velenovsky identifies a leaf which is very close to this species 

 from the Cenomanian of Bohemia, where it is widely distributed, 

 as A r alia daphnophyllum* 



Attention is directed to the similarity which all of these leaves 

 show to the entire forms of the modern Sassafras.

From the number of fragments at the pits of the Cliffwood 

 Brick Co., I judge this species to have been rather common, 

 although much search has failed to reveal complete specimens. 

 One of these shows a leaf of abnormal lateral growth, the midrib 

 being abruptly bent almost at a right angle just above the point 

 of insertion of the lateral primaries. This species differs from the 

 typical form such as is figured in the Flora of the Dakota Group 

 by its slightly more ovate outline and the wide angle which the 

 lateral primaries make with the midrib. It may be distinguished 

 from Cinnamomum intermedium Newb., which is common at this 

 locality, by its thicker texture, shorter form, wider and more 

 rounded base, and thicker veins, the latter being comparatively 

 thin in C. intermedium. I have included Newberry's reference 

 under this species although I am not absolutely certain that his 

 forms are identical with those of Lesquereux.
