generally straight, prominent on the lower surface of the leaf, forking 

 dichotomously at variable distances from their origin, giving off thin, 

 transverse more or less curved secondaries. 



The present species, which is probably a descendant of Nelumbites 

 virginiensis, was described originally from Cliffwood Bluff, New Jersey. 

 It is only known from imperfect materials, but is much smaller and more 

 delicate than Nelumlo Tcempii Hollick (op. cit.) . It is much like Nelumbo 

 laramiensis Hollick/ which has, however, twelve primaries. Other com- 

 parable species are Nelumbo intermedia Knowlton 2 with twelve or thirteen 

 weak primaries, and Nelumbo dawsoni Hollick 3 with eighteen primaries.
