BEACHTPHYLLTTM. 299 



Nathorst mentions a specimen which he found in a plant-bed on 

 the Yorkshire coast as probably new to England and identical 

 with the Indian Brachyphyllum mamillare of Feistmantel, which 

 Nathorst thinks is not specifically identical with Brongniart's 

 species. 1 Among the Yorkshire examples of Brachyphyllum I have 

 not discovered any specimens which appear to be specifically 

 distinct from B. mamillare. 



39,315. PL X. Fig. 1. 



This specimen serves to illustrate the characteristic habit of the 

 species. The branch has a length of 12 cm., and gives off lateral 

 members at an angle of approximately 80.

V. 3296. Some of the leaves in this specimen show the dorsal 

 rib and the triangular form of the apex ; they are not very closely 

 adpressed to the branches, but stand out from the axis and clearly 

 exhibit their pointed triangular form. Purchased. 



V. 3583. A fairly good specimen, 14cm. long; the thick fleshy 

 leaves are well shown. 



10,380. In this specimen the leaves are more open in their 

 arrangement and less closely adpressed to the stem than in the 

 more typical examples of the species.
