'2)escriptio_&.--Leaves broadly lanceolate in outline and
eoriaceous in texture. Nine cm..to 15 cm. in length, by t.8 cm,
to 3 cm. in width, the minimum rather than the maximum being
the usual dimensions. Apex more extendcgt than the base,
obtusely pointed. Base cuneate, acute. Midrib stout, as is the
short petiole• Secondaries fine, usually obsolete, I2 to 15 pairs,
snbequat, alternate, brmtehing from the midrib at an angle of
about 45 ° and curving upward, cam_Xodrolne. Leaf surface
noticeably smooth.
This species, _,vhieh came originally from the Woodbridge
locality, where it is eormnon, is equally common at Milltown.
It appears to be confined to the New Jersey Raritan, and suggests
somewhat the leaves w0aich have been referred to Laurus
ph_tonia. Heer, from which it may be distinguished in the absence
of venation by its texture.
Occurrence. _Voodbridge, Milltown.
