,XD ,-7-^ , cilOjj/ ^ FOSSIL FLORA. 65 PLATE XXIV. Crested Aspidiaeia. (Aspidiaria cristata, of Presl.Sigillaria appendiculata, Brongniart.Aphyllum cristatum, Artis.) The fossil here represented is part of the stem of a tree nearly forty feet long, and two feetin diameter, found imbedded in sandstone at Banktop, Yorkshire. The cicatrices of the petioles are obovate, and have a central oblong crest or ridge; theinterstices form deep angular furrows. The stems with this type of sculj^turing, are supposed to belong to a group of extinctvegetables, which held an intermediate place between the Sigillaria, previously described, andthe Lepidodendra; together with the latter, and certain true Coniferas and arborescent ferns,these trees appear to have constituted the principal forests of the Carboniferous epoch.

/. CuAV^yJ^ii/-: 2/J/ e^^/cll. . t^c FOSSIL FLORA. 67 PLATE XXV. Frondose Megaphyton. (Megaphyton distans, of Lindley and Huttoiis Fossil Flora of Great Britain.) Very large stems not channelled, with regular cicatrices of great size, arranged longitudinally,occur in the sandstone and grits of the Carboniferous formation, and are supposed to belono- to atribe of extinct plants, more nearly allied to the arborescent ferns of our tropical climes, than toany other existing trees. The specimen figured is part of a stem ten feet in length, from a quarry near Rowmarshin Yorkshire. This stem has a coarse fibrous surface, furrowed longitudinally ; the cicatrices left by theshedding of the leaves are of a horseshoe shape with the points directed upwards. This group ot stems has been separated by writers on fossil botany into several genera, asBothrodendron, Ulodendron, &c. In some of these the scars are five inches in diameter. There are many fine examples of these fossils in the British M
