genus and species novum which he describes on the previous page
of Die Kreide Flora dec Artiscben Zor_e. The later specimens
from the much you_lger Atane beds are not surely identical with
the older re_aains, although they are much the same in general
appearance. They appear to depart somewhat from a cyclic
phyllotaxy toward a spiral arrangement and the leaves are more
spreading and less appressed. The Raritan occurrence of this
species is based upon a single specimen from an unknown New
Jersey locality and no additional remairls have ever been discovered
either in New Jersey or in more or less synchronous
horizons elsewhere. While this specimen presents no evident
differences when compared with Heer's figures of this species, it
is very doubtfully related to the original material from the Kome
beds.
