I.—A New Cretaceous Plant from Nigeria

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  01 May 2009

Extract

The available information regarding the fossil plants of Southern Nigeria is of the meagrest description. Consequently great interest lies in the collections of fossil plants brought back from Nigeria last year by Mr. A. E. Kitson, F.G.S., and it seems worth while to publish a brief account of what appears to be a new species of Monocotyledon from among them.
