330 DIAGNOSES SPECIERUM NOVARUM. 
This variety of A. oblongum occurs in the same area as a plant 
with normal foliage (Forrest, No. 10 ,669). The leaves are nearly 
always trilobate, though occasionally a leaf is found indistin- 
guishable from the leaf of A. oblongum, and are moreover nearly 
as broad as long. No. 10,669 differs from typical A. oblongum 
in the wings of the fruit being horizontal, and may be equivalent 
to var. horizontale, Pax, previously recorded only as a cultivated 
plant in the Botanic Garden of Florence (Pflanzenreich-Aceraceae, 
P. 31).
