DESGlilPTlON OF TUE Sl'EClEa. 297 



Locality : Fredericksburg ; very rare. 



'I'lie tliick leaf-substance and the dense glossy epidermis obscure the 

 nerves. The leaf figured seems to be one of the lower petioled ones, ;ind 

 apparently presents its lower face uppermost. 



Sapindoi'sis KLLii'TiCA, sp. nov. 



Plato CXLVII, Fi^. :!. 



Leaves elongate, elli[)tical, narrowed gradually towards the base and 

 apex; midnerve strong and prominent; primary lateral nerves slender but 

 distinct, going off at an angle of about 4")^, arching backwards slightly and 

 then forwards, and then at three-fourths of the distance to the margin ab- 

 ruptly turned forwards to unite with the next primaries to form a series of 

 arches which run parallel with the margin and near to it ; intervening minor 

 nerves leave the midnerve, as do the primaries, and unite mostly with the 

 middle points of the arches ; nltimate reticulation distinct, composed of pro- 

 portionally large, irregular, ])olygonal meshes. 



Locality : Fredericksburg ; very rare. 



The plant is much like Sapiiidus in the form of the leaf and in the 

 nervation. It has some of the features of Ficus lanniplnjlUt^ Lcsq. 



All the nervation of this plant is slender, but very distinct.

CLV, Fig. C. 



Leaves odd-pinnate, leaf-snbstance thick and leathery, epidermis thick 

 and glossy ; leaflets comparatively large, lancet-shaped to elongate-ellip- 

 tical, subacute, u]iper pair and terminal leaflet sometimes united for some 

 distance ; uppermost pair of leaflets mostly decurrent on the lower side by 

 a broad wing, on the upper side cut away nearly or (|uite to the midrib, 

 wings diminishing in width on the leaflets in descending, lowest pairs of leaf- 

 lets short-petioled ; leaflets placed opposite or subopposite in pairs ; mid- 

 nerve very stout, rounded, and prominent, continuing strong to the tip of 

 the leaflets; primary nerves comparatively slender, conspicuous only on the 

 under sides of the leaflets ; the primary nerves go off pinnately at about
