FOSSIL FLORA. 659 



and has the same toothing in the upper portion, differing only in being a 

 little more acute than the type. The basal portion is wanting. 



The locality which afforded the original specimen is unknown (cf. Tert. 

 Fl., p. 133), but from the fact that it was sent to Lesquereux with a lot of 

 material from near Florissant, Colorado, it was assumed to belong- to the 

 Green River group. It is preserved in the collection of the United States 

 National Museum (No. 1652), and appears to have actually come from the 

 Florissant shale.

A considerable number of specimens that leave no doubt as to the 

 correctness of their determination. 



The example figured is only partially preserved and is much larger 

 than is usual in this species. It has, however, the shape and nervation of 

 Q. ellisiana, and I refer it with some hesitation to this form. 



Habitat: Mount Everts, near the summit of the west end; collected 



by F. H. Knowlton, July 27, 1888. The figured specimen was collected 



by George M. Wright, July 7, 1885, on the top of Mount Everts, on the 



west face.
