DESCRIPTION OF SPECIES. 105 



aries one or two pairs, at an open angle of divergence, short, at a great 

 distance from the l)ase of the Literal primaries. 



Thongh the position of the lateral primary nerves at the base of tlie 

 leaves seems different from wliat is observed in the common forms of this 

 species, the same anomaly is nevertheless seen in many of the leaves described 

 by anthors, as in Unger's Flora of Radoboj, PI. i, Figs. 6, 8, 9, etc. 



These leaves have the same characters as those described in Cret. Fl. 

 (loc. cit.), and the remark made tliere is also applicable to this leaf. 



llaV)itat: Seven miles northeast of Glascoe, Kansas. No. 428a of the 

 Museum of Comparative Zoology of Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Leaves thick, coriaceous, entire, ovate, taper pointed, roimded to a

 above the middle of the leaves ; ramose ontside. 



The description of this species and the remarks upon its characters in 

 Cret. and Tert. Fl. (loc. cit.) are complete as far as the species is known at 

 the ])resent time. But the figure given lierewith has to be sul)stituted for 

 that in the Cret. FL, PI. xxviii, Fig. 11, which had been made from a 

 specimen deformed by handwork. 



Habitat: Two aud one-half miles from Glascoe, Kansas. No. .'')23 of 

 the Museum of Comparative Zoology, Cambridge, Massaclmsetts.

 PI. LI, Figs. 8, 9. 



This species is described as follows by the authors (Revision de la 

 Flore Heersienne de Gelinden, p. Gl, PI. ix, Figs. 7-9). " Leaves petiolate, 

 ovate-lanceolate, shortlv obtusely attenuate, triplinerved ; lateral nerves 

 slightly supra-basilar, curved, with few outside branches and few .secondaries 

 emerging from the midril) at a distance from the primaries, anastomosing in 

 the upper jjart with them ; tertiary nerves transversely llexiious, passing to 

 a slightly marked areolation." 



Except for the character of the areolation, copied from the desci-iption 

 of the above authors, the species is satisfactorily represented by two sj)eci-
