Tbls is a rather poorly defined species whose wide range is
based for the most part upon very fragmentary material. It i_
oblong elliptical in outline, 9 cm. to 15 cm. in length by 3 cm. to
7 era. in. breadth, with a stout petiole 5 cm. to 7 era. in length.
'Apex pointed. Base euneate to rounded. Midrib stout. Secondaries
stout, separated by tertiaries, camptodrome.
This species was described, originally from the Atane beds of
Greenland, and it has since been reported outside of the New
Jersey area from the Cenomanian of Bohemia, the Dakota Group
in Nebraska, Kansas and Minnesota, the Tusealoosa formation
of Alabama and the Raritan (?) o£ Long Island. As previously
mentioned, all of the references in the foregoing s_nonymy cannot
be vouched for as regards correctness of ider;tification.
