Calyx only like Macreightia (Maba) in being trimerous ; if the leaves are sometimes 

 denticulate as stated, the plant cannot belong to Ebenaceae. In Celastrus europoeus the 

 leaves measure If 2J in. long by -fa in. wide ; petioles about J in. long.

Tertiary ; sandstone at Miinzenberg, Darmstadt, S.W. Germany. 



Calyx (?) -lobes f f in. long. As much like a calyx of Barringtonia or a split fruit 

 of Viola as Maba. Peduncles thickened upwards. 



The following names of fossil species have been published apparently without descriptions 

 or with extremely meagre ones.
