There are about one hundred and forty existing species of 
great variety of form, foliage and blossom, confined to the 
Australian region, none occurring in New Zealand on the one 
hand or Asia on the other.* Nine fossil species have been re- 
ferred to this genus from American strata, most of which are 
doubtfully determined owing to the uncertainty of leaf re- 
mains: Island Raritan 2, Dakota 3, Raritan 4, Laramie 1, 
Green River 1, Atane 2.

This reference is only provisional, as the leaf is too frag- 
mentary for certainty and the venation is entirely obliterated. 
I have thought I detected the characteristic venation at times 
but cannot be certain. Previously recorded from the Dakota, 
Kansas ; the Raritan, Woodbridge, Sayreville, N. J.; and the 
Cretaceous of Staten Island, Long Island and Martha’s Vine- 
yard. Also recorded from Greenland and the continent of 
Europe.
