Description. " F. ramis suberectis fastigiatis, ramulis filiformibus 

 confertis, foliis appressis e basi ovata subulatis, strobilis axillaribus duplo 

 longioribus quam latis." Ettingshausen, 1867. 



Medium-sized branches with more or less crowded, slender, elongated, 

 fastigiate twigs, bearing reduced ovate-subulate leaves, spirally arranged. 

 Both microsporangiate and megasporangiate cones have been found. The 

 cones are small oval bodies 5 mm. to 12 mm. long by 3 mm. to 7 mm. in 

 diameter, usually poorly preserved, said by Ettingshausen to be axillary 

 in position but evidently often terminal, as evinced by some of the Earitan 

 material as well as by some of the better preserved cones from the Ceno- 

 manian of Bohemia and Moravia. The latter material clearly shows 

 that the cones consisted of four scales. This would allv it with either the
