DESCRIPTION OF SPECIES. 115 



wliich is narrowly lanceolate, is 5"'" long, 1"" Inroad, and has the secondaries 

 a little more oV)li(|ue, and altogether the nervation is less distinct and more 

 mixed. Though closely allied, the leaves from Kansas differ in form as 

 well as in size, as they are evidently ovate-lanceolate. The smaller of the 

 leaves has the secondaries less distant, while those of Fig. 3 have them less 

 regular and modified by ramification at the middle. The angle of diver- 

 gence of the secondaries is about the same. 



Habitat: Near Fort Marker, Kansas. No. 2777 of the U. S. National 

 Museum collection. 



Myrsinites? Gaudini Lesq. 

 PI. Lll, Fig. 4. 



Leat subcoriaceous, with polished surface, entire, oblanceolate or 

 obovate-elongated, gradually eidarged from the base upward, obtuse, short 

 petioled; midrib narrow; secondaries oblique, curved, camptoth'ome, and 

 incumbent along the borders. 



A small leaf, 5.5"'" long", 2.5"'" broad in the upper part; it has eight pairs 

 of secondaries at an ang'le of divergence of 40°. The leaf is comparable 

 to Myrsine grai/dis Ung.,^ by the foi'iii of the leaf and the character of the 

 nervation. The mith'ib, however, is narrower in the leaf from Kansas, which 

 has the petiole destroyed. 



Habitat: Kansas.

The leaf shown in Fig. 1 is larger than any of those figured by Heer; 

 but it has the same characters as those represented in Fl. Foss. Arct., vol. 

 3, PI. XXXII, Figs. 1, 2. It is introduced here on account of the su^^erposi- 

 tion ujwn its base of an undeterminable small fragment of a leaf, ai)pareutly 

 referable to Myrica.
