Abstract
HITHERTO our knowledge of the structure, as distinguished from the mere external appearance, of Mesozoic plants has been for the most part limited to the older floras, in which only the earlier types, such as ferns, cycadophytes and conifers, are represented. From the Upper Cretaceous, the epoch when the now dominant angiosperms first overspread the world, little structural material has been available until lately, if we except the petrified wood of palms, which has long been known and is of the utmost interest.
