and 10. The leaves are broader, shorter and thicker ; the medial nerve only half as 

 broad ; the secondaries close, numerous and distinct their whole length.

Leaves thick, coriaceous, polished on the upper surface, elliptical or oblong-lanceolate, 



pointed, narrowed by a curve to a short petiole, entire and slightly undulate, triple nerved 



from the base or from above it, medial nerve thick, lower lateral nerves ascending along the 



borders higher than the base of the lower secondary veins, which they join by anastomosing 



branches. 



The description is that in Cret. FL, made from better specimens than that which 

 1 refer to it from Minnesota, and which, broken on one side and partly covered on 

 the other, is merely identified by its nervation. As in the specimen from Kansas, 

 f. 3, I. c., the lower lateral nerves join the medial one close to the base of the leaf, 

 while in the European specimens, the point of connection is generally higher, and 

 therefore, as the species is Tertiary for Europe, the specific reference of all the leaves 

 of the same character, found in the Dakota group, is somewhat uncertain.

Leaves lanceolate, narrowed to the base, decurring to the short thick petiole, very entire, 

 thickish; medial nerve thick, transversely striate, lateral nerves very thin, close, at an acute 

 angle of divergence, camptodrome; areolrition reticulate. 



The species is not rare in North America and Greenland. The leaves are some- 

 what coriaceous, larger toward the base. The specimens are often fragmentary; that 

 of Minnesota represents only the lower half of a leaf with the lateral nerves mostly 

 obsolete.
