STAMINATE AMENTS? 
Pl. XLVI, figs. 23-27. 
Among the most common objects collected in the clays at certain 
places are fruiting spikes or aments whose botanical affinities we have not 
as yet determined. They vary from short, close, bud-like spikes, as shown 
in figs. 23, 25, to a more elongated, ament-like structure, as shown in figs.

Dr. Newberry labeled the specimens ‘Staminate aments,” without 
deseribing them in any way. Under the circumstances, I have thought 
it best to include them without further comment.
