DESCEIPTIONS OF SPECIES. 97 



It is probable that the fragmentary leaf remams from the clay marl of Cliff- 

 wood, N. J., wluch Berry refers to Ficus reticulata (Lesq.) Knowlton, " belong with 

 our species and not with that to wliich they are referred.

Eucalyptus latifolia n. sp. 

 PI. XXXVI, figs. 1-5. 



Leaves large, about 1.5 decimeters long by 5.3 centimeters maximum width, entire, broadest about the 

 middle, tapering rather abruptly to an attenuated, curved or flexuous, pointed apex and nan-owed to the base ; 

 secondary nervation fine, numerous, leaving the midrib at angles of about 45°, irregularly disposed, flex- 

 uous, terminating in a marginal nei-ve. 



This is apparently a large species of Eucalyptus, althotigh in many respects it is 

 suggestive of certain species of Ficus, as, for example, F. protogsea Heer,'' in wliich, 

 however, the characters of the apex are not described or figured. The leaves from 

 our region which I regard as belonging to the latter species are depicted on PL X, 

 figs. 4-6, of this monograph under F. atavina Heer.

 It is unfortunate that both our figure and that of the type (loc. cit.) show only 

 the lower parts of the leaves, but as far as these can be compared they are so closely 

 alike that they might almost be taken for counterparts of the same specimen, and 

 their specific identity is beyond question.

Family ARALIACE^. 



Hedera simplex n. sp. 



PI. xxxvn, fig. 9. 



Leaf palmately 3-lobed; lateral lobes broad, divergent, rounded below to a cordate base ; secondary nerves 

 rather remote from each other, diverging from the primaries at varying angles, ultimately bending sharply, 

 joining, and forming a coarse network of subrectangular and polygonal areola?. 



This fragmentary specimen apparently indicates a leaf closely resembling our 

 living iyj {Hedera helix L.).
