224 THE RARITAN FLORA.<br />

Genus VIBURNUM Linn6.<br />

(Sp. Pl., I753, P. 267.)<br />

VIBURNUM INTEGRIFOI.IU_I Hollick.<br />

Vib_tr_nm_ ilztegrifoIizulz Hollick, Bull. Torrev Club, vol. aI : 54,<br />

pl, -r77, f. 7, 1894; Mon. U. S. Geol. Surv., voh 50: lO5,<br />

pl. 4o, [, ;, 19o7.<br />

<strong>New</strong>b., F1. Amboy Clays, 125, pl. 4I, f. _, 1896.<br />

Description_.--Leaves <strong>of</strong> large size, broadly ovate in outline,<br />

about Ii cm. or 12 cm. in length, by 7.5 era. in greatest breadth,<br />

which is toward <strong>the</strong> m'iddle <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> leaf. .A_pekpointed (?),<br />

Base rounded (?). Margins entire. Midrib stout. Secondaries<br />

also stont, 5 or 6 pairs, subopposite, camptodrome,<br />

branching from <strong>the</strong> midrib at an acute angle and curving upward,<br />

connected by numerous straight, transverse tertiar_es,<br />

which are mostly obsolete.<br />

q'his species was based on a single, imperfect specimen, which<br />

Pr<strong>of</strong>, <strong>New</strong>berry referred to <strong>the</strong> genus Viburnum, comparing it<br />

with <strong>the</strong> modern Vibur_,.um lantanoides, which it does not resemble<br />

in <strong>the</strong> least degree. An additional fragmentary specimen<br />

has been described by Hollick from Glen Cove, Long Island,<br />

which is sufficient to show that <strong>the</strong> base was pointed or rounded<br />

and not cordate as suggested by <strong>New</strong>berry.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re is absolutely no ground for its reference to Viburn_m,,<br />

but ra<strong>the</strong>r than attempt a re-identification with such incomplete<br />

material as a basis, Pr<strong>of</strong>. <strong>New</strong>berry's name is retained and<br />

<strong>the</strong> specimen is placed with those <strong>of</strong> unknmvn affinities, instead<br />

<strong>of</strong> in <strong>the</strong> place where [Tib_;'m_m would come in <strong>the</strong> natural system.<br />

Occurrence.--Woodbridge.<br />
