Omjcliiopsis mantelli (Brongn.). This species, although probably 

 not absolutely confined to rocks of Wealden age, is essentially a 

 characteristic member of floras belonging to that epoch. It has a 

 wide geographical distribution in Europe, and occurs in North 

 America and Japan. Onycliiopsis mantelli must have been one of 

 the most abundant plants in the vegetation of which fragments are 

 preserved in the Uitenhage beds. 



Cladoplilehis broioniana (Dunk.). As already pointed out, it is 

 almost impossible to determine fronds of this type with accuracy, 

 but the specimens with which the South African specimens appear 

 to be identical is a Wealden fern of common occurrence in Europe 

 and in the Far East. The distinction between Wealden and Inferior 

 Oolite species is in many cases by no means well marked, and this 

 form of frond, taken by itself, cannot be regarded as a trustworthy 

 index of the Wealden age of a flora.
