In the Azane beds there occur, besides vascular C 
(some of which are arborescent) and Gymnosperms (eight Cyc 
dez, twenty-seven Conifers; among others Cycas steenstrupi with 
well-developed carpels), ninety species of dicotyledonez, the ap- 
pearance of which was very sudden. Here, also, the flora indicates 
a subtropical climate. The Atane beds may be compared with the 
Cenomanian strata. 
In the Patort beds, twenty vascular Cryptogamia, eighteen Gym- 
nosperms, five Monoctyledonez, and sixty six Dicotyledones have 
been found. Among the Conifers the most abundant species is 
Sequoia concinna Heer (branches and fruits), nearly related to 
_the Tertiary Sequoia couttsie ; Sequoia langsdorfii Brgr., a Tertiary 
species, is also frequently met with. The Dicotyledons consist of 
birches, alders, elms, fig-trees, walnuts, oaks and planes (the last 
: two genera in great numbers); then come laurels, cinnamons 
azalias, magnolias, &c., &c. The Patort beds also contain marae 
animals, which enable us to make an exact comparison with the 
deposits of other countries, and approximate them to the Upper 
Senonian of Europe, consequently to the Upper Chalk. 
The Tertiary flora of Greenland is derived either from an Eocene 
deposit or from Lower Miocene beds. It includes inall pugs
