DESCRIPTION OF SPECIES. 89 
or more groups. The normal form of the hastate leaf is seen in Pl. XX VII, 
fig. 6; Pl. XXVIII, figs. 1, 2; but occurring with these are forms like figs. 
4 and 5, Pl. XX VII, in which the lateral lobes are turned up and there is 
a near approach to the form of S. progenitor. There is, however, so wide a 
difference between the prevailing forms of these halberd-shaped leaves and 
others with which they are associated that it seems necessary to regard 
them as forming a distinct species.

CINNAMOMUM INTERMEDIUM Newb. n. sp. 
Pl. XXIX, figs. 1-8, 10. 
Leaves symmetrically lance-oval or lentiform, petioled, 10°™ to 12™ in 
length and 3° to 4°™ in width, blunt-pointed at summit, narrowed to the 
base; nervation strong, lateral nerves springing from the midrib either at 
oe oft 
the base or a little above and reaching almost to the summit, giving 
lateral branches from the base up, which unite to form a festoon parallel 
with the edge. On the inside the branches from the midrib are delicate 
and inconspicuous until above the middle; three or four alternate pairs are 
then given off, which converge in a festoon to the summit. 
The leaves of this species of Cinnamomum are intermediate in character 
between those of C. mississippiense, C. Heerii, and C. affine, all of Lesque- 
reux, which have the base broad and rounded, and C. sezannense Wat. and 
C. Scheuchzert Heer. They have more the form of C. ellipsoidewm Sap. et 
Mar., Révision de la Flore Heersienne de Gelinden, p. 61, Pl. IX, figs. 7-9, 
but are larger, generally more wedge-shaped at the base, are longer peti- 
oled, and in cases have the lateral nerves brought much nearer the point. 
If, however, they had been found in the same country and beds of the 
same age, I should feel compelled to consider them as but forms of that 
species. 
Localities: Woodbridge, Sayreville.
