TLDR
Comparison of the new specimens made from the Xujiachong Formation with reported Z. australianum has led to some nomenclatural changes, and Morphological variation of in-situ spores is also described.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
Some new plant finds from the Posongchong Formation of Yunnan, and consideration of a phytogeographic similarity between South China and Australia during the Early Devonian
Shougang Hao,Patricia G. Gensel +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a representative of the trimerophytesPsilophyton primitiuum sp. nov., a prelycopodBragwanathia sp. sp. and two species of zosterophyllophytes from the Posongchong Formation of southeastern Yunnan, China, add to the known floral diversity of the Early Devonian of this region.
Journal ArticleDOI
Earliest rooting system and root : shoot ratio from a new Zosterophyllum plant
TL;DR: Zosterophyllum shengfengense was probably a semi-aquatic plant with efficient water use or a strong uptake capacity of the root-like axes and the biomass allocation and root : shoot ratio.
Journal ArticleDOI
A re-investigation of Halle's Drepanophycus spinaeformis Göpp. from the Lower Devonian of Yunnan Province, southern China
Li Cheng-Sen,Dianne Edwards +1 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that the new species Drepanophycus qujingensis has greatest affinity with Astewxylon mackiei, and that both exhibit the kind of fertile organization that might be anticipated in the ancestors of the lycopsids.
Journal ArticleDOI
Zosterophyllum Penhallow around the Silurian‐Devonian Boundary of Northeastern Yunnan, China
TL;DR: Comparison with other zosterophylls indicates that the Late Silurian–Early Devonian flora of the paleoequatorial zone may be characterized by a diversity of zosterphylls, probably differing from coeval floras of other regions dominated by rhyniophytoids.

The Lower Devonian Flora of the Senni Beds of Monmouthshire and Breconshire
W. N. Croft,William H. Lang +1 more
TL;DR: New fossil localities, of which the most important is Llanover Quarry, are recorded from the Senni Beds of the Lower Old Red Sandstone of Monmouthshire and Breconshire, and a distinction of two subgenera within the genus Zosterophyllum is suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI
A reevaluation of the zosterophyllophytina with comments on the origin of lycopods
Karl J. Niklas,Harlan P. Banks +1 more
TL;DR: The primary paleobotanical literature pertaining to Zosterophyllophytina was reexamined for evidence concerning the activity of the apex of fertile shoots as it might be revealed by the presence or absence of terminally located sporangia and it was found terminate axes usually are associated with radial symmetry and nonterminate axes are typically bilateral in symmetry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Some Fossil Plants of Early Devonian Type from the Walhalla Series, Victoria, Australia
TL;DR: In this article, the plant-remains that had been found in rocks regarded by the Geological Survey of Victoria as of Upper Silurian age were examined based on specimens in the collections of the National Museum, Melbourne, and of the geological survey of Victoria, which were sent to Manchester for examination.
Journal ArticleDOI
On Plant-Remains from the Silurian of Victoria, Australia, that Extend and Connect Floras Hitherto Described
TL;DR: In this paper, a small flora was found in beds of mudstone containing graptolites and the age of the beds was established as Lower Ludlow, which is not younger than Middle Silurian by Australian geologists.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rebuchia ovata, its vegetative morphology and classification with the zosterophyllophytina
TL;DR: The morphology of the spike of Rebuchia ovata (Dorf) Hueber is unique among members of the Zosterophyllophytina, and the proposal to divide them between two families is not supported.
