OTOZAMITES. 207 



CYCADALES OF DOUBTFUL AFFINITY. 



Genus OTOZAMITES, Braun. 

 [Braun, in Minister, Beit. Petrefact. Heft vi. p. 36, 1843.] 



1. Otozamites Beani (Lindley & Hutton). 



la. Otozamites, sp., cf. O. Beani. 



:2. Otozamites Bunburyanus, Zigno. 



3. Otozamites graphicus (Leckenby, ex Bean MS.). 



4. Otozamites acuminatus (Lindley & Hutton). 



5. Otozamites parallelus, Phillips. 



6. Otozamites obtusus (L. & H.), var. ooliticus, mihi. 



7. Otozamites Feistmanteli, Zigno. 



An account of the history of this genus was given in the second 

 volume of the Wealden Flora.* We have no evidence as to the 

 nature of the reproductive organs of Otozamites, but it may be 

 safely regarded as a Cycadean plant bearing a closer resemblance 

 to ferns in the form and venation of the pinnules than is the 

 case with the majority of recent species of the Cycadaceae.
