XVI.—On a New Species of Dineuron and of Botryopteris from Pettycur, Fife

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  06 July 2012

Extract

Among the interesting specimens which have been yielded by the material of Calciferous Sandstone age (Culm), from Pettycur, near Burntisland, are a petiole of Dineuron and a very small species of Botryopteris. The former genus does not appear to have been previously discovered in Britain, and the present species is, as far as I am aware, only represented by a single example. The Botryopteris, in the form of fragments of petioles, is not infrequent, but its stems are of much more rare occurrence.
