14 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM. vou. 62. 
Occurrence.—14 km. west of the telegraph station San Jose del 
Carmen, State of Vera Cruz. 
Holotype.—Cat. No. 36823, U.S. N. M. 
LEGUMINOSITES OAXACENSIS, new species. 
Plate 3, fig. 3. 
A flat, narrow, several seeded leguminous pod, prominently 
margined, of unknown length, about 8.5 mm. wide, the valves 
coarsely reticulate veined, the seeds lenticular. 
This fragment is of unknown botanical affinity and might represent 
one of many diverse genera of the leguminous alliance. Although 
probably not of any especial significance the Mexican fossil is much 
like fragments described by Engelhardt from Loja, Ecuador, as 
Leguminosites machaerioides, grandis, and cassioides. 
Occurrence.—Isthmian railroad # km. north of Palomares on the 
Saravia estate, State of Oaxaca. 
Holotype.—Cat. No. 36824, U.S. N. M. 
Order GERANIALBES. 
Family RUTACEAE. 
Genus FAGARA Linnaeus. 
FAGARA WADII, new species. 
Plate 1, fig. 5. 
Leaflets practically equilateral, of medium size, orbicular to 
elliptical in general outline, being widest in the middle and approxi- » 
mately equally rounded at the apex and base. Margins entire. 
Texture subcoriaceous. Length ranging from 3.7 to 5 cm. Maxi- 
mum width ranging from 2.6 to 3.3 cm. Petiolule short, stout, and 
expanded, about 2 mm. in length. Midrib stout, prominent on the 
lower surface of the leaflet. Secondaries mediumly stout, five or 
six subopposite to alternate pairs; these are somewhat unequally 
paced, subparallel with one another and with the lower lateral 
margins of the leaflet; they become more ascending and more curved 
in apical region, arching along the margins, with camptodrome 
endings. The tertiaries are thin, partially obsolete, those seen are 
percurrent. 
This species conforms closely to the leaves of the existing species of 
Fagara and to some of the abundant fossil forms of the Oligocene of 
the southern United States, the genus, often confused with its deriva- 
tive Zanthoxylon, appears in the Cretaceous of southeastern North 
America, and remains a member of the flora of that region throughout
