and has been the subject of discussion by many different authori- 
ties. Newberry, who founded the genus, regarded it as closely 
allied to Liriodendron,* largely on account of the emarginate apex. 
This feature, however, is equally characteristic of many genera of 
Leguminosae which also possess nervation exactly comparable 
with that of Lirtodendropsis, as for example in Cassia Fistula L.,t 
and the consensus of opinion now seems to be that it is this family 
in which the genus should be included. 
Only one other specimen of the species has thus far been identi- 
fied from Long Island (Hollick, loc. cit., pl. 26, f. 15), and this one 
is quite different in size and form from the one now figured.

26 (Fl. Amboy Clays): 83, p/. 19, f. 2, 3, pl. 53, f. I-4, 7. 1895. 
Liriodendron simplex Newb. in part, Bull. Torrey Bot. Club 14: 
6, pl. 62, f. 2, 3. 1887. 
This specimen, although fragmentary, shows the characteristic 
emarginate apex and general shape of the species. In one or 
another of its many diverse forms it is one of the most abundant 
species in the Cretaceous deposits of Long Island and vicinity, 
and those who may be interested in the genus may find numerous 
figures of this and allied species, with descriptions and citations, 
in a previous work by the writer. 
Locality: King’s gravel pit, Roslyn, N. Y. Hollick, Sept. 26, 
1906.
