Title (Dublin Core)

Dispersed cuticles and conducting tissue of Sphenophyllum BRONGNIART from the Westphalian D of Kalinovo, Donets Basin, Ukraine

Description (Dublin Core)

Upper Westphalian coals are usually rich in organic-matter of different plant taxa, including gymnosperms. The assemblagefrom Kalinovo (Eastern Ukraine) is exceptional in being dominated by <em>Sphenophyllum</em>, both cuticles andconducting tissues. <em>Sphenophyllum </em>cuticles are easily distinguished by their parallel oriented cells with sinuous anticlinalwalls, and paracytic stomata on the abaxial cuticle. Tracheids with multiseriate bordered pits that occur in <em>Sphenophyllum </em>can be also found in the Calamitaceae and some pteridosperms. However, rectangular shaped remainsof parenchyma cell strips along the radial wall of tracheids are only known in <em>Sphenophyllum</em>.
