Fossil Floras of Cape Colony. 59 



Pecopteris schocnleiniana Brongn. bears a resemblance to the Storm- 

 berg plant, but it is too small to determine. 



Plate VII., fig. 6 (39e). 



Eachis stout, 11-5 cm. long. The linear confluent pinnules are for 

 the most part entire, but on the lower pinnae some show a distinct 

 serrate margin (fig. 6a). In the apical region the pinnules ai-e more 

 crowded and gradually pass into segments with a serrate margin. 

 The venation is obscure, but apparently of the Cladophlehis type. 

 The pinnules on the lower side of the pinnae pass on to the rachis, 

 where they occur as segments of varying size and shape. 



Associated with fragments of Thinnfeldia. 



Plate VII., fig. 4 (10). 

 Pinnules enlarged, showing a well-defined midrib and lateral veins. 



Plate VII., fig. 5 (31e). 

 The apex of a frond, showing the x^^ssage of pinnules into a 

 terminal acuminate lamina with a serrate edge. 



Plate VIII., fig. 2 (46e). 

 Habit similar to that of the larger frond shown in fig. 6, pi. vii. 

 The pinnae are more crowded, and the segments little more than 

 well-marked serrations. Venation clearly preserved, each pinnule 

 receives a vein which gives off a few branches at an acute angle. 

 The lowest segment on the pinnae tends to be decurrent on the main 

 rachis. 



Oilier Specimens : 8, small pinnae with crowded pinnules, pinnules 

 occur also on the main rachis ; 40e, a portion of a frond rather less 

 than that shown in fig. 6, pi. vi., and intermediate between that 

 specimen and the still smaller example represented in fig. 2, pi. viii. 

 480d, an indistinct impression on sandstone of part of a large frond; 

 associated with Tliinnfcldia. 



Genus TtENIOPTEEIS.
