This species, reported b}^ Professor Lesquereux from Henrj- Comity, 

 Missouri, is represented in the collections before me by a single long' frag- 

 ment. While the characters of the ribs and rib cicatrices seem to agree 

 with those of the ordinary specimens of the species, the ramification, noticed 

 at intervals of every two or three nodes, appears to be more profuse, perhaps, 

 than the European form. 



The carbonaceous i-esidue of the vascular tissiie constitutes a A^ery thin, 

 filmy pellicle, and seems to indicate for this species a very thin-walled 

 structure, possibly approaching the living type of Equisetimi. It is probable 

 that some of the tliick-walled or more Calamodendi-oid si^ecimens referred 

 in this country to this species are really more closely related to C. varians and 

 other species. The thin tissue of C. Suckowii has been especially emphasized 

 by the late Marquis Saporta.
