86 THE RARITAN FLORA.<br />

although if <strong>the</strong> two species are to be kept separate, a not<br />

altoge<strong>the</strong>r certairt proposition, it is clearly more closely allied<br />

to ]uniperus hypnoides under which Hollick has already placed<br />

it (loe. cit., 19o7). Pr<strong>of</strong>essor <strong>New</strong>berry describes its association<br />

at Woodbridge with Dammara scales and was evidently <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> opinion that <strong>the</strong> one was <strong>the</strong> fruit <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r. Material in<br />

<strong>the</strong> <strong>New</strong>. York Botanical Garden shows this association, which is<br />

probably, however, purely a mechanical one. <strong>The</strong> type material<br />

came from <strong>the</strong> Atane beds <strong>of</strong> Greenland, and additional remains<br />

are also abundant in <strong>the</strong> <strong>Raritan</strong> <strong>of</strong> Krelscherville, <strong>State</strong>n Island,<br />

and in <strong>the</strong> Magothy formation <strong>of</strong> Martha's Vineyard, <strong>New</strong><br />

Jersey and Delaware.<br />
