Foliage has somewhat the appearance of that of Seguora 
Feeichenbach?, but the leaves are more crowded. Not col- 
lected by me.

The genus is unique in that it contains but two dwindling 
representatives of its former numerous species, one of which 
is the most majestically graceful of trees. These two species 
have barely held their own through the vicissitudes of cen- 
turies since the glacial period in the little strip of country 
where the climate is locally favorable. Many fossil species 
have been described, ranging upward from the Upper Jurassic ; 
about forty-four from this continent alone, some of them with 
a great lateral and vertical range.
