The genus Brachyphyllum aside from certain indefinite 

 forms of late Paleozoic age extends throughout the Mes- 

 ozoic. The form from Peru which Salfeld referred to this 

 species is not entirely typical if one may judge from his 

 figure, having keeled pointed and imbricated leaves. It is 

 more like the genus Echinostrobus of Schimper, but as this 

 is not always clearly distinguishable from Brachyphyllum the 

 present species may stand as named by Salfeld. It comes 

 from the coal measures of Huallanca, Department of Huan- 

 uco and according to Salfeld is represented by the specimen 

 from Huayday, Department of Libertad, figured by Lukis.

 ate.
