M, Brongniart on the different Floras which 



twenty- five species, and would thus have amounted to more than 

 a hundred, comprising forty-seven Ferns and other acrogenous 

 Cryptogams, and fifty gymnospermous Dicotyledons, thirty-nine 

 of which are Cycadacese and eleven Conifers. 



The essential characters of this epoch are therefore : 1. the 

 great predominance of Cycadacese, already well established, and 

 the presence of numerous genera in this family, especially of 

 Zamites and Nilsonia ; 2. the existence among the Ferns of many 

 genera with reticulated nervation, which scarcely showed them- 

 selves, and only in forms varying little, in the more ancient for- 

 mations, but some of which did nevertheless begin to appear in 

 the epoch of the Keuper. The genera Camptopteris and Thauma- 

 topteris are examples.
