This characteristic form, with its strict lanceolate shape, long, stout 
petiole, and numerous aerodrome primaries, is unmistakable. It was 
described from the Upper Eocene of western Greenland, and has also 
been recorded from the early Eocene of Belgium. A single specimen 
is contained in the collection from Kitsilano.

Sorbus decorafolia Berry n. sp. 
Plate XIX, figure 2 
Leaflets ovate-lanceolate in outline, widest at or below the middle 
and about equally and shortly pointed at the apex, and base, which is 
inequilateral. Margins beset with closely spaced, small, dentate-serrate 
teeth. Length about 4 • 6 cm. Maximum width about 1 * 6 cm. Petiolule 
stout, curved, about 6 mm. in length. Midrib stout. Secondaries, 
about 8 pairs which diverge from the midrib at angles of about 45 degrees, 
are mediumly stout, sub-parallel, and camptodrome. 
Except for the petiolule these leaflets are not to be distinguished 
from certain forms of the existing var. decora of Sorbus americana Marsh, 
so commonly cultivated as an ornamental tree in Canada. The genus 
Sorbus is widely distributed in the northern and montane parts of the 
Holarctic region. Its geological history is practically unknown, but Heer 
described a supposed species from the Upper Eocene of Greenland and 
Spitzbergen, and various later species are known from North America 
and Europe. The present fossil species comes from Joseph creek.

The type of this species came from the Upper Eocene of western 
Greenland. It is not to be confused with the Leguminosites borealis of 
Dawson, which name was proposed six years later and based on very 
indefinite remains of supposed pods from Mackenzie river. The latter
