Stem articulate and finely striate; leaflets nearly 

 linear , lanceolate , sharply pointed at the apex and so 

 arranged that no constant angle with the stem is main- 

 tained: — they are, however, directed but slightly 

 upward. 



Our fossil impression agrees most perfectly with 

 Schlotheim's figures of this species, and differs from 

 Sternberg's representation in respect to the size of the 

 stem, which in the former is about one sixth as large 

 as in the latter. Sternberg's figure, — it may be pre- 

 sumed, — is that of a more fully developed plant. 



Distribution, in coal formation: — at INIannebach and 

 Wettin, — Germany; at Blackwood, England; in Penn- 

 sylvania.
