leaf is dentate closer to the base, and the basal part is not so 
distinctly wedge-shaped, the margins being convex instead of 
straight or slightly concave as in Lebephyllum. They agree in 
having a distinct midrib running from the base to the apex, 
but the lateral veins differ materially. Fragaria is another 
genus to which the broad form of the Kettle River leaf bears a 
strong resemblance, but in Fragaria the teeth are pointed 
instead of round, the apex is more obtuse and lacks the long 
tooth, and the venation is feather-veined. 
Lebephyllum beineckei, sp. nov. 
Plate IX, figs. 1 and 2. 
Leaves rhombic-oval to rhombic-lanceolate, wedge-shaped at 
the base, the basal margin entire, the apical margin deeply 
crenate-dentate, the toothed part occupying a little more than 
half the margin; 5 to 7 centimetres long and 2 to 3 centimetres 
broad. A strong midrib runs from the base to the apex. Near 
the base opposite, lateral veins, not quite as strong as the mid- 
rib, branch off at an angle of about 13 degrees and run almost 
straight to the margin. In the smaller specimen, fig. 2, two 
similar pairs are given off at regular intervals towards the point, 
and in the larger leaf, fig. 1, only one pair is seen above the one 
at the base. In this the veins do not seem to be quite opposite, 
though only the right vein is distinct. Each vein seems to 
terminate in a tooth, but owing to the state of preservation 
this is not well shown. The ultimate reticulation is not seen.
