298 On the Fresh-water Formations of Aix, in Provence. 



Description of the Plants alluded to in the preceding Memoir. By J. 

 LiNDLEY, Esq. F. R. S. F. G. S. L. S. &c. and Professor of Bo- 

 tany in the University of London. 



M, Appears to be the terminal pinna of some articulated compound leaf. I 

 have no doubt that it belongs to some Leguminosa, either of the tribe 

 of Lolets, or Phaseoliee of M. De CandoUe's arrangement. To what 

 particular species, I am not at present able to state. 



A, Is the leaf of Podocarpus macrophylla 7 



B, Is apparently the branch of some Thuja., nearly related to Thuja articulata. 



C, Are leaves of Lauras dulcis? or, if not, of a species of cinnamon that can- 



not be distinguished from it by these specimens. C * is the best spe- 

 cimen. 



D, Is the fruit of some plant, but in too imperfect a state to be determined. 



E, Is very like Buxus Balearka ; but it is perhaps something else, and can- 



not be determined. 



F, Is a leaf, but of so common a form, that it could not be safe to offer even 



a conjecture about it. 



G, Is the stem of an herbaceous plant; but there is no evidence to shew 



what it was. 



Of the recent plants referred to in the annexed memoran- 

 dum, Podocar/)?^^ /«fl<ro/;i%?/a and Laiirus dulcis are natives 

 of India, Buxus Balearica of the Mediterranean, and Thuja 

 articulata of the coast of Barbary.
