Description. — "Th. ramis articulatis, ramulis strictis compres- 

 sis, ristichis, articulatis, foliis brevissimis, ato-squam?eformibus, 

 truncatis vel obtusis, quadrifarian imbricatis, arete adpressis, 

 dorso carinatis." Ettings., 1852. 



This genus was founded by Schenck in 1869 with Thuitcs 

 Hoheneggeri Ettings. as the type. The latter received very 

 elaborate treatment at the hands of the former author, and this 

 was rounded out by Zeiller's description of the epidermal and 

 stomatal characters in 1882^ It has been recorded from a large 

 number of localities, although the bulk of the remains are rather 

 unsatisfactor}% and it is very doubtful if the Raritan or Magothy 

 material as described by Newberry, Hollick, and the writer is 

 correctly identified ; at least it is not above suspicion. Charac- 

 teristic remains of this species do occur, however, in the Kome 

 beds of Greenland and the Trinity of Texas, in addition to the 

 Barremian occurrences in Europe, while Frenclopsis parccramosa 

 Font, from the older Potomac of Maryland and Virginia is ex- 

 tremely close to this species, and somewhat similar, but poorly 

 preserved, remains are described from the English Wealden by 

 Seward as Bccldcsia anomala.
