Book Description

Excerpt from Proceedings of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, Vol. 63 This Species is represented by several slabs showing parts of branches, one with a length of stem of 200 mm. Showing the two sides of the branch on two slabs. The branches on this stem are 6 to 7 on a side in a length of 200 mm.; they attain a length of 130 mm. And the ultimate branchlets extend about 20 mm. On each side of the branches. Some coaly matter along the main stem indicates from its thickness a considerable density for the woody stem. The leaves are crowded on the branches, linear oblong, obtuse at the apex and about 1 by 3 mm. They point forward at an angle of 45° and the branchlets are about 4 mm. Wide. One of the smaller specimens is figured in Plate III. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
