346 EDWARD W. BERRY 
North Carolina representation includes leaves from station 850 
and seeds from Old Mill. Previously recorded from the late Pleisto- 
cene of Virginia and Maryland, being represented by both leaves and 
seeds in the latter state. Leaves have been recorded from Bridgeton, 
N. J., and the writer has recently collected the seeds in the clays at 
Fish House, N. J. 
Ericales 
XOLISMA LIGUSTRINA (L.) Britt. 
Hollick, Maryland Geological Survey, Pliocene and Pleistocene (1906), p. 236, 
Plate 69, Fig. 6. 
Fossil forms of this type of leaf are usually referred to the genus 
Andromeda of Linnaeus, and many species are recorded, ranging from 
the Mid-Cretaceous to the present. Lesquereux records two species 
(dubia and vaccinijoliae affinis) from the Pleistocene of Somerville, 
Tenn. The present species was found at station 850. It has been 
previously recorded from the late Pleistocene (Talbot) of Maryland. 
DENDRIUM PLEISTOCENICUM sp. nov. . 
Based on leaves from station 850. They are of coriaceous texture, 
and are identical with those of Dendrium hugeri, which has been 
separated by Small from the old species Dendrium buxifolium (Berg.) 
Desy., in which the leaves are smaller. 
It seems likely that the modern Dendrium hugert, which is a form 
of the mountains of western North and South Carolina, is directly 
descended from this Pleistocene form, and that Dendrium buxifolium, 
which is a “‘pine-barren”’ form with reduced leaves, and which ranges 
from New Jersey to Florida, is a later specialization in that habitat. 
VACCINIUM CORYMBOSUM L. 
Hollick, Maryland Geological Survey, Pliocene and Pleistocene (1906), p. 236, 
Plate 69, Figs. 7-9. 
Specimens of leaves of this species occur both at station 850 and 
at Old Mill. Previously recorded from the late Pleistocene (Talbot) 
of Maryland. 
VACCINIUM SPATULATA sp. nov. 
Based on spatulate leaves of this generic type found at station 850. 
Length 2.4°™, width 1.2°™. Somewhat coriaceous with two or 
three remote camptodrome secondaries on each side.
