98 THE RARITAN FLORA.<br />

Description--."ramulis elongatis, virgatis, foliis omnino tectis,<br />

foliis, subfalcatis, angustis, apice valde attenuatis, uninerviis,<br />

rarnis adultis pulvinis rhombeis obtectls." Heer, I87t.<br />

This species, like Sequoi_ Refchenbachi, occurs sparingly at <strong>the</strong><br />

Woodbridge horizon, and like <strong>the</strong> latter is more abundant in <strong>the</strong><br />

overlying Magoihy fomlatio,1_ at Cliffwood bluff. It resembles<br />

this species considerably, but may be distinguished by <strong>the</strong> thicker<br />

twigs with decurrent pointed leaves, which are more curved and<br />

less rigid than in <strong>the</strong> Sequoia and with smaller intermediate scalelike<br />

leaves, which are altoge<strong>the</strong>r wanting in <strong>the</strong> latter. Geinitzia<br />

formosa was described originally from <strong>the</strong> Senonian <strong>of</strong> Saxony,<br />

and it also ranges upwards into <strong>the</strong> iMbntana formation <strong>of</strong><br />

Wyoming. It is ano<strong>the</strong>r species which serves'co ally <strong>the</strong> <strong>Raritan</strong><br />

with younger deposits elsewhere.<br />
