120 THE FLORA OF THE AMBOY CLAYS. 
parallel, strongly arched upward, especially toward the summit, where they 
connect in a simple festoon. , 
The form and structure of these leaves is altogether that of Cornus, 
yet the neryation is more delicate than is known in that genus. The lateral 
nerves running out paraliel, strongly arched upward, curving near the 
margins to connect with those above, and drawn in at the summit, pre- 
cisely as in many species of Cornus, tempt us to include it in that genus; 
but a certain want of rigidity and exactness in the nervation suggests that 
the relationship should be indicated rather than asserted. This is a rare 
form in our collections, and more material will be needed for its exact 
classification. .

One of the most common leaves found in the New Jersey clays is 
indistinguishable from that described by Heer (op. cit.) from the Dakota 
of Nebraska, and as it is so characteristic a plant of the formation and one 
found at nearly every locality opened, I have felt justified in giving a 
number of figures of it. There seems to be little evidence that this really 
represents the genus Andromeda, but aside from its botanical relations the 
plant is an important one as showing the relation between the Amboy Clays 
and the Dakota group of the West.

Leaves varying greatly in size and shape; 4°" to 20% in length by 
1.5™ to 7" in width, lanceolate or spatulate in outline, generally acute, 
sometimes rounded at summit, wedge-shaped below; nervation strong and 
simple, midrib very strong, lateral branches relatively few, slender, and
