more typical Campos species, although there is nothing conclu- 

 sive about these comparisons. 



But two other fossil species have been referred to Jacaranda. 

 These are Jacaranda potosina Berry 1 from the Pliocene of Bo- 

 livia and Jacaranda borealis Ettingshausen 2 of the Oligocene 

 (Sannosian) of the Tyrol, the latter based upon both leaflets and 

 seeds. Neither of these can be considered to be entirely beyond 

 doubt. It may be repeated that I regard Jacaranda tertiaria as 

 botanically beyond suspicion.
