1 16 THE FLORA OF TEE JJAKOTA GROUP. 



The other leaf of A. Parlatorii Heer has the same character as that 

 figui-ed iuCret. Fl., PI. xxiii, Fig. 7, a peculiar form which Heer recognized 

 as referable to this species which is really very variable. It differs from the 

 more common form by the more obtuse apex and the large size of the leaf 

 at the middle. 



Habitat: Kansas. Common. 



Andromeda Parlatorii Heer, var. longifolia, n. var. 

 PI. LXIV, Fig. 19. 



May be a different species. The leaves are much longer, 10*"" to 14"'° 

 long, 2*"" to 3"'° broad, lanceolate, long acuminate. The texture is thick, 

 (M)riaceous; the nervation the same as in the noi'mal form of ^. Parlatorii, 

 as I have tigured it in my Cret. Fl. (loc. cit). There are numerous speci- 

 mens, some of them of the normal size. 



Habitat: Ellsworth County, Kansas. No. (yii'l of the collection of Mr 

 R. D. Lacoe. 



Andromeda tenxjinervis, sp. iiov.' 

 PI. XXXVIII, Fig. 7. 



It has the short, enlarged petiole of A. Parlatorii, btit the secondaries 

 are very thin, scarcely visible, parallel, equidistant, immersed in the thick 

 parenchyma; leaf thick, coriaceous, covered with a parasite, probably a new 

 species of Placidium. 



Habitat: Ellsworth County, Kansas. No. 1177 of the collection of Mr.

Andromeda Ppaffiana Heer. 

 PI. XVIII, Figs. 7, 8 ; PI. LII, Fig. 7. 



aeer, Fl. Foss. Arct., vol. 6, 2 Abth., p. 79, PI. xxv, Fig. 6; PI. xxxviii, Figs. 5-7; 



PI. XLiv, Fig. 12. 



Leaves meml)rano\is or subcoriaceous, linear-lanceolate, gi'adually nar- 

 rowed to the petiole, tapering upward to a long acumen, entire; median 

 nerve nairow, little enlarged near the base; secondaries very thin, partly 

 obsolete, more or less distant, pai-allel and generally oi)posite, curved up 

 towards the borders and turned down in reaching the median nerve. 



The leaves appear very long, at least in comparison to their width, 

 none of them being entire. The best preserved one is 14.5"" long and 2""
