DESCRIPTION OF SPECIES. 65 
here the resemblance to Cinnamomum will strike any observer; fig. 12 rep- 
resents the panduriform variety of the leat, while fig. 11 shows a summit—

Myrica acura Hollick n. sp. 
Pl. XLII, fig. 35. 
Leaf about 3™ long by 1™ wide, lanceolate, acute, sharply and irreg- 
ularly denticulate in the upper part of the margin, lower part entire; second- 
aries leaving the midrib at a wide angle, bending upward sharply near the 
margin, anastomosing and connecting by cross veining. 
This species is represented only by the upper two-thirds of a single 
leaf, so that the characters of the lower part have not been determined 
No indication of locality or probable botanical affinities accompanied 
the figure or specimen.—A. H. 
Myrica RARITANENSIS Hollick n. sp. 
Pl. XLU, fig. 34. 
Leaf about 32™" long by 12" or 13™" wide, broadest in middle and 
tapering acutely to both ends, margins dentate in upper half of leaf, entire 
below; nervation obscure, sparse, and thin. 
Dr. Newberry left no indication as. to his ideas concerning: its prob- 
able relationship or any information as to the exact locality where it was 
found.—A. H. 
Order SALICACE. 
Poputus? apicutata Newb. n. sp. 
Pl. XV, figs. 3, 4. 
Leaves round-ovoid or ovate; 8°™ to 12° in length by 6°™ or 7™ in 
breadth, pointed or acuminate at summit, rounded or slightly wedge- 
shaped at base, petioled, margins entire; nervation delicate, midrib slender, 
slightly flexuous, lateral branches about six on a side, gently curved upward 
and uniting in a festoon near the margin. 
These leaves have been placed in Populus with much hesitation. 
They are not three-nerved, as are most leaves of that genus, and the ner-
