The simple fronds included under this specific name are characterised by a strong midrib from which numerous simple or forked secondary veins are given off at a right angle or slightly inclined. The breadth of the lamina decreases gradually towards the petiole. The Australian species named by McCoy Taeniopteris Daintreei, to which Carruthers referred the Queensland fossils, has a much narrower and more linear form of frond, and for this reason Tenison-Woods instituted a new specific name. T. Garruthersi represents a form of leaf met with in Rhaetic, or possibly Upper Triassic, rocks in S. Africa^ and Australia. A very similar, perhaps an identical type, was described fi-om Argentina by Geinitz'^ as T. mareyiaca: among 1 Seward (08) p. 98. ^ Geinitz (76) PI. n. figs. 1— Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Seward, A.
