PLATE LII. 



Lepidophyllum binerve. 



Hutton MS. 



An undescribed leaf of Lepidodendron, well defined 

 and easily distinguished from Lepidophyllum maj'us, 

 intermedium, and acuminatum ( — Lepidophyllum trinerve 

 Lindley and Hutton, " Fossil Flora/' Plate CLII.) by 

 the two broad longitudinal ner^ures and the indistinct- 

 ness or apparent absence of midrib. 



This fossil is especially interesting, since it approaches 

 very near to certain Sigillarian leaves. Compare, for 

 instance, with the leaves of Sigillaria, figured in Plate 

 XLIIL of the " Fossil Flora" (Figs. 1 and 2), under the 

 name Gyperites hicarinata. 



The specimen represented came from Bolton. 



The drawing, by Priob, and our figure, are of the 

 natural size.
