 the mouth of the caverns north of St. Michel, December 5, 1925, by Leonard {n.7750); 

 the other near L'Arcahaie, March 10, 1925, by G. S. Miller (n. 267). Miller n. 267 

 is a twig bearing leaves and a raceme of mature fruit. The Samaras are greenish, 

 spreading, obovate, the dorsal edge straight, the ventral curved, 2 cm long, 7 mm broad, 

 somewhat striate, and puberulent. The seeds are obovate, 3 mm long, 2 mm broad
