The single specimen which forms the subject of this note was sent to me for examination by Mr. Hewitt, of the Albany Museum, Grahamstown, Cape Colony; it was found at Cyphergat and presented to the Museum by Mr. S. R. Gardner. Fossil plants from Cyphergat in Cape Colony have been described by Feistmantel and, more recently, by myself from beds containing the remains of a flora assigned to the Rhætic age. Our knowledge of this flora is based on material obtained from the Molteno Beds at the base of the Stormberg Series at Molteno, Stormberg, Cyphergat, and other places.
