Geological Survey Bulletin 204 Fossil Flora of the John Day Basin, Oregon

Family CORNACEÆ.

CORNUS FEROX ? Unger.

CORNUS FEROX Unger. Lesquereux, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., Vol. XI, p. 21, 1888.

A single much-broken example is all that was found. Its identification is extremely doubtful, and is permitted to stand simply for the purpose of calling attention to the fact that there is present in these beds a large leaf that, while resembling Cornus ferox, is of practically unknown affinity. For purposes of correlation it is obviously of no value.

Locality.—Cherry Creek, Crook County, Oregon. Collected by Maj. Charles E. Bendire (U. S. Nat. Mus., No. 2452).
