A_dromeda Cookii Berry, Bull. Torrey Club, vol. 36:261, I9O9 .
Deseription.--Leaves coriaeeous, variable in size, lanceolate
in. outline, 6 cm. to I2 cm. in length by 1.5 cm. to 3 era. in width,
with an acuminate apex and a somewhat cuneate base. Midrib
stout and flexuous. Secondaries strong, somewhat flexuous,
branching from the midrib at an acute angle and arching upward
in long curves, camptodrome. Tertiaries mostly simple, transverse,
forming oblong areoles.
This species is of the same general character as the other Raritan
species of Andromeda with which it is strictly congeneric.
It is a common form, in the lower Raritan, although most of the
specimens are imperfect. Elsewhere it is recorded from Glen
Cove, Long Island, but the material from the latter locality is not
very conclusive. The name given to, this species by Newberry
was unfortunately preoccupied, and the name here used is given
in honor of the late George H. Cook, whose work on the Raritan
and allied formations has furnished the basis for all subsequent
studies.
Occurrence.--Sayreville, Woodbridge, Milltown.
