  Our 
  leaf 
  appears 
  undoubtedly 
  to 
  belong 
  to 
  this 
  species, 
  

   although 
  considerably 
  larger 
  than 
  either 
  of 
  those 
  figured 
  by 
  

   L,esquereux.

  Plate 
  47, 
  fig. 
  2. 
  

  

  Leaf 
  lanceolate 
  in 
  outline, 
  entire, 
  about 
  6 
  in. 
  long 
  by 
  i^ 
  in. 
  wide 
  at 
  the 
  

   middle, 
  tapering 
  gradually 
  to 
  the 
  base 
  and 
  somewhat 
  more 
  abruptly 
  to 
  the 
  

   apex, 
  which 
  is 
  constricted 
  and 
  narrowed 
  into 
  a 
  point 
  ; 
  midrib 
  strong 
  and 
  

   conspicuous 
  ; 
  secondary 
  nervation 
  not 
  visible. 
  

  

  This 
  leaf 
  was 
  probably 
  of 
  thick 
  leathery 
  texture, 
  in 
  which 
  the 
  

   finer 
  nervation 
  was 
  hidden. 
  In 
  outline 
  it 
  closely 
  resembles 
  the 
  

   leaves 
  figured 
  by 
  Lesquereux 
  as 
  Fiais 
  lanceolata 
  Heer, 
  in 
  Tert. 
  

   Fl. 
  pi. 
  28, 
  fig. 
  1-5, 
  and 
  also

  figured

  ; 
  but 
  inasmuch 
  as 
  the 
  secondary 
  nerva- 
  

   tion 
  in 
  ours 
  is 
  lacking, 
  I 
  have 
  thought 
  it 
  best 
  to 
  give 
  it 
  a 
  new 
  

   name.

  In 
  comparing 
  this 
  leaf 
  with 
  figures 
  of 
  described 
  species 
  I 
  

   found 
  it 
  almost 
  impossible 
  to 
  decide 
  between 
  the 
  one

   quoted

  Quercus
