very small remote serrate teeth. Second-

/ the midrib at angles ranging from 65° for 
the basal pair to 40° for those in the 
apical part of the leaf, curving slightly 
upward, parallel, their tips joined by 
Tey ae rounded festoons with the adjacent second- 
aries and sending off short curved branches 
to the marginal teeth. Balance of the tertiaries straight, transverse. 
This species is based on the incomplete leaflet figured and its 
counterpart, and resembles both in size and outline the leaflets of 
the existing white (/raxinus americana Linné) and red ash (Fraxinus 
pennsylvanica Marsh).
