This flora is remarkable for the large number of ferns whicli it con- 

 tains, the genus Hausmannia of the Dipteriacea being especially Avell 

 represented. 



Sweden 

 Nathorst, as quoted by -Seward in his Wealden flora, is the authority 

 for the statement that Lower Cretaceous floras are absent from the 

 Scandinavian region. 



Africa 



The Uitenhage series of South Africa is often referred to the Upper 



Jurassic. Fossil plants were recorded from these rocks by Tate ^ many 



years ago, and more recently Seward has revised ^ and added to ^ the 



flora. The latter author considers these beds as of approximately the 



same age as the English Wealden. The following species are recorded : 



Araucarites rogersi Seward 



Benstedtia sp., Seward * 



Brachyphyllum sp., Seward ^
