Sciadopiti/tes Cnimeri (Ilccr) Hallc. 



Desciil)0(l by Hi:i:ii (1808) under Ihe gcneiic nanic Piiuis. Hc- 

 cently icinvcsligated by Halli: (1915). Fuilher tliis spccies is Iden- 

 tical with Pimis microphijlla Hcer (1877) from Sj)il/I)eigc'ii. 



Occiirrencc: Konic and Ekkorlal, (ireeMihiiid; (^ap Bobfnian, 

 Spitzbergcn. 



(ieological age: Lowcr Crctaccous — Middlc Juiassic. 



Sciadopitytes macrophylla, sp. nov. 



The doul)le ncedles of Ihis species secm to havc bcen more than 

 40 mm long and 3,5 — 4 mm broad. After the maccration wc find 

 a l)road median pai)illate and stomatiferous groove, whose margins, 

 however, are characterized neither by an accumulalion of papillae 

 nor by culicular lists. The bottom of the groove is covercd with 

 papillae, and even the 4 — 8 subsidiary cells of each stoma are 

 papillate. The stomata are orientated longiludinally, but regular 

 rows of stomata are abscnt. — This spccies shows a remarkable 

 resemblance to Sciadopitys verticillata. 



Occiirrcnce: Andö, Norway. 



Geological age: Middle Jurassic. 



Sciadopitytes scanica, sp. nov. 



Discovered among leaves of Pitijophijlhim Follini Nath. On the 

 one side of the 0,8 mm broad and probably rather long doublc 

 needles wc find a median stomatiferous groove, whose margins lack 

 papillae but are characterized by cuticular lists. The stomata are 

 orientated longitudinally but do not occur in regular rows. The 

 number of the papillate subsidiary cells is O (2 polar and 4 late- 

 ral ones). 



Occurrence : Pålsjö, Scania (Swedcn). 



Geological age: Tpper Triassic (Hhaetic). 



Sciadopitytes sp. 



Coniferous fragments with a median stomatiferous groove which 

 belong to Sciadopitijtes but probably to none of the spccies men- 

 tioned abovc. 



Occurrence: Andö, Norway. 



Geological age: Middle Jurassic.
