Evidently close to H. bendirei, but much smaller, more 

 equilateral and with the shorter sepals less truncate. Very 

 different from H. siibincerta by the larger size and shape of 

 the sepals. 



Fig. 2. Hydrangea florissantia. 



Florissant, Miocene, Station 14 (T. I). A. CockerelL 1907). 

 Type in Yale University Museum. On the same piece of 

 shale touching the Hydrangea (as shown in the figure) is what 

 I take to be part of the male inflorescence of a Castanea — 

 presumably that of C. dolichopJiylla Ckll., which is represented 

 by leaves at Station 14.
