Extract

Our knowledge of the anatomy of Dicksonia is mainly based on the description of D. Barometz given by Gwynne-Vaughan. The stem of this species possesses a radial dictyostele, which, on account of the shortness of the leaf gaps, is not far removed from the solenostelic condition. The leaf trace arises as a broad ribbon of tissue with inwardly folding margins, which soon, however, breaks up to form a horse-shoe of isolated strands.
