4 FOSSIL PLANTS. 



species has rhomboidal pinnae, and the pinnse segmentation is equilateral and 

 much more numerous than in Rhacopteris flabellata and Noeggerathia, sp. 

 Gomes, where it is unilateral. 



It also differs from Rhacopteris OeiMei in its unilateral segmentation, in 

 its pinnule-cutting being narrower and longer, and in its more slender 

 rachis. 



Horizon. Calciferous Sandstone Series (Culm).

 Remarks. The fruit of this species was first observed by Lesquereux, but 

 more fully figured and described by myself from specimens collected by 

 Mr. James Bennie from the Coal Measures, Dysart, Fife. The sporangia 

 are exannulate, and its affinities with recent genera are very obscure.
