Length of leaves one-half to three-fourths of an inch. This plant is abundant in some layers of shale near St John. It resembles , L. and H., but the leaves are longer, less curved, and more numerous in a whorl. Some of the specimens show that the stem was leafy, as well as the branches; and I have a specimen, apparently the termination of a main stem, showing the whorls of leaves diminishing in size toward the apex. My specimen of this and the following species of AsterophylUtes are from the collections of Messrs Matthew and Hartt, and were obtained from the ledges and cliffs west of Carlton. I believe the small strobiles, one of which is seen at H^ to be the fniit of this species. Fig. 187.— A, Asterophyllites latifolia. D, A. latifolia, larger whorl of leaves. B, Do. apex of stem (?) fruit, DS Leaf. C and C', Asterophyllites scutigera. AsterophijlUtes latifolia, Dn. (Fig. 187, A, B, D). Stem somewhat slender, with enlarged nodes. Leaves oblong-lanceolate, about thirteen in a whorl, one-nerved, longer than the internodes. Length of leaves varying from one-fourth of an inch, near the ends of branches, to an.
