DESCRIPTION OP SPECIES. 119 



Heer,^ described as A. revoliifa Al. Braun, diflfering especially by the grad- 

 ually narrowing prolongation upward to a long acumen, and down\\'ard to 

 a thin or very narrow, distinct petiole. It is also comparable to A. subpro- 

 togcpa Sap. (Etudes, vol. 1, p. 227, PI. viii, Fig. 9). 



Habitat: Ellsworth County, Kansas. No. 1210 of the museum of the 

 University of Kansas. Collected by E. P. West. 



Andeomeda Wardiana, sp. nov. 

 PI. LXIV, Fig, 17. 



Leaf of thin texture, naiTowly elliptical, blunt at apex, nan-owed at 

 the base to a short petiole, and entire ; median nerve narrow ; secondaries 

 thin, oblique, camptodrome. 



This species is similar in the form and size of the leaves to A. vaccim- 

 foUa Ung., as figured by Heer in his Fl. Tert. Helv., vol. 3, PI. ci. Fig. 25a. 

 The secondaries are only at a more acute angle of divergence in the Amer- 

 ican species. The leaf is 4.5"" long, 1 7°"" broad at the middle, the petiole 

 7""' long, and the angle of divergence of the secondaries nearly 40°.

Viburnum injsquilaterale, sp. nov. 

 PL XXI, Figs. 2, 3. 



Leaves large, subcoriaceous, enlarged and rounded upward from below 

 the middle and dentate, more or less rapidly naiTowed to the broadly cune- 

 ate, entire base, irregularly three to five palmately nerved from a little 

 above the basal border; primary and secondary nerves obli(iue, nearly 

 equidistant, the lower much branching outside, all craspedodrome. 



The leaves are enlarged in the middle and vary in size from G™ to S"" 

 broad, being about 1""" broader than long. The divisions or teeth of the 

 borders coiTespond to those of the nerves, each of these entering one of 

 the teeth, which are short, at right angles to the borders, separated by 

 shallow sinuses of the same type as those often remarked upon the leaves 

 of the Dakota Group in species of Grrewiopsis, PlatanuSj Betulites, Aralia,
