ARALIA WASHINGTONIANA Berry 

 Plate LXXXII, Fig. 3 



Aralia washingtoniana Berry, 1910, Bull. Torrey Bot. Club, vol. xxxvii, p. 

 27, pi. viii, fig. 4. 



Description. Leaves of medium size, broadly trilobate, about 9 cm. to 

 10 cm. in length by 8 cm. in greatest width. Sinuses shallow and rounded. 

 Lobes broadly rounded. Petiole and midrib stout. Lateral primaries 

 scarcely to be distinguished from the secondaries. Secondaries four or 

 five subopposite pairs, rather straight, indifferently camptodrome or cras- 

 pedodrome. Tertiaries well marked, transverse. Margins entire. 



The remains of this species are numerous but fragmentary. In general 

 outline and venation they suggest a species of Aspidiopliyllum, but they 

 lack the characteristic base of that genus. There is some resemblance, 

 not close, however, to Aralia rotundiloba Newberry and to Aralia nassau- 

 ensis Hollick. 



Occurrence. EARITAN FORMATION. East Washington Heights, Dis- 

 trict of Columbia. 



Collection. U. S. National Museum.

1 Since proposing the very appropriate name Araliopsis (Bull. Torrey Bot. 

 Club, vol. xxxviii, 1911, p. 413) for this genus, the writer has discovered that 

 this name is preoccupied, having been used by Engler in 1895 for a monotypic 

 and little-known genus of Rutacecc from Africa.
