Description. Leaves thick and coriaceous, varying considerably in size 

 and shape. From 4 cm. to 20 cm. in length by 1.5 cm. to 7 cm. in width. 

 Ovate-lanceolate in outline with an entire, usually somewhat undulate 

 or unsymmetrical margin. Apex obtusely pointed or sometimes rounded. 

 Base somewhat wedge-shaped. Midrib and petiole very stout. Secon- 

 daries relatively few, six to eight pairs, stout and flexuous, branching from 

 the midrib at acute angles and sweeping upward in long curves, eventu- 

 ally inosculating to complete the strictly camptodrome venation. 



This species occurs from the lower Raritan of New Jersey to the top of 

 the eastern leaf -bearing Cretaceous. It is a not uncommon fossil in the 

 Magothy formation from New Jersey to Maryland, the Black Creek beds 

 of North Carolina, and the Tuscaloosa formation of Alabama. It is larger, 

 relatively broader, and less regular than Andromeda parlatorii Heer.
