Lepidostrobus. 



Brongniart, Hist. d. Veg6t. Foss. vol. ii. pi. xxv. fig. 5. 



Remarks. I have seen this cone attached to stems bearing Lepidophloios 

 leaf -scars, and it is in fact, I believe, the cone of Lepidophloios scoticus, Kidston. 

 It is at all events uot referable to the genus Lepidodendron. 



Geinitz (Vers. d. Steinkf. in Sachsen, p. 35) and Feistmantel (Vers. d. 

 Bohm. Kohlenab. p. 210) unite it with Lepidodendron rimosiim, but indepen- 

 dently of the leaf-scars being those of Lepidophloios, Lepidostrobus comosus 

 only occurs in the Lower Carboniferous, where Lepidodendron rimosum has not 

 yet been discovered. 



Schimper (Traite d. PalSont, V6ge"t. vol. ii. p. 62) unites it doubtfully 

 with Lepidostrobus Geinitzii, Schimper, from which, however-, it seems quite 

 distinct. Eoehl (Foss. Flora d. Steink. Form. Westph. p. 142) unites 

 Lepidostrobus comosus with Lepidostrobus variabilis, but this is also inad- 

 missible.
