Description.--"A, foliis petiolatis, triplinerviis, trilobatis, IoNs
apice dentatis, obtusiuseulis." Heer, I869.
The occurrence of this species in the Raritan formation is
based upon a single fragmentary specimen, figured by Prof.
Newberry from South Amboy. The species was described,
originally, from the Cenomanian of Moravia, and was subsequently
recorded in considerable abundance from the Cenomartian
of Bohemia and the Dakota Group of the west. The
New Jersey material, as far as it goes, agrees very well with the
more typical material from elsewhere, especially that from
Bohemia. It may be distinguished from draIia wellingtonian_
Lesq., the only other Raritau dralia which is not entire margined
by the obtusely pointed lobes, always three in number, the decurrent
base, and by the coarse undulate-dentate teeth.
Occurrence.--South Amboy.
Collections.--N. y. Botanical Garden.
