This review is based on a computerised database that I have built up over the past few years
and is intended to provide a catalogue mainly for those palaeopalynologists whose …

Summary 1 In aggregate, past discussions of heterospory and its role in the alternation of
generations are riddled with ambiguities that reflect overlap of terms and concepts …

The decade since the publication of the third edition of this volume has been an era of great
progress in biology in general and the plant sciences in particular. This is especially true …

There have been at least ten English-language textbooks of palaeobotany since DH Scott
published the first edition of Studies inFossilBotany in 1900. Most have been written by …

Principles of phylogenetic analysis (cladistics) are introduced with an examination of
relationships among extant genera of Gnetales. The Gnetales can be supported as a …

The dominant plants of the Late Carboniferous lowland tropics were taxonomically and
structurally distinct from those of any later time periods. Dominance was distributed among …

This evolutionary cladistic analysis of the arborescent (wood-producing) lycopsids, an
exclusively fossil group of vascular plants, is confined to the strongest available data …

Isoetes beestonii new species is the most ancient known species of this living genus. In
earliest Triassic shales of the Sydney and Bowen Basins of Australia it is locally abundant as …

The arborescent lycopods dominated many coal-swamp plant communities of the Middle
Pennsylvanian. A relatively small number of important species occurred in coal swamps …

The recognition of numerous similarities between Isoetes L. and extinct arborescent
lycopsids historically led to one of the best known phylogenetic lineages in vascular plant …
