Ptilophyllum. 



Stem ? Fronds pinnate ; pinnae linear, closely approximated, 



more or less elongate ; base variable in form, oblique, round, imbri- 

 cate, sometimes auricled in the upper and sometimes in the lower 

 part. Veins slender, equal, jjarallelf. 



* Presl has placed these fossil stems with Zamites, to which they appear 

 to have a greater affinitj' than to Cycadites, more especially since the inter- 

 esting discovery by Mr. R. Brcwn of the existence of scalariform vessels witli- 

 out discs in the trunk of Z. microphyllus, a character in which they agree 

 with the American portion of the recent order. Mr. Brown remarks, " that 

 the order Cycadeae presents but one genus in Anrerica, namely, the Zamia, 

 on which this genus was originally founded, and to which it has been re- 

 cently restricted ; and that the coincidence in the structure of the scalari- 

 form vessels in the trunk of this Zamia of the new world, with that of the 

 fossil CycflfZi^es of Europe, is very remarkable." (Buckl. B. T. Sup. Notes.)
