This bed, as previously discussed, is an important source of vertebrate material (see introduction). Oldham (1976) described and figured material belonging to this species from various Wessex Formation localities along the South West coast of the Isle of Wight. Stratigraphical range: Barremian. Description and discussion. Ginkgoites garlickianus sp. nov. is one of three species from the English Wealden newly described in the present work and attributed to the genus Ginkgoites Seward. Although Oldham (1976) recognized the cuticle of G. garlickianus as of ginkgoalean affinity, he did not place it within a genus or erect a species for it, using instead the Biorecords code 26 Gink GiA. The few leaf fragments of G. garlickianus recognized so far indicate a lamina which is deeply divided into narrow segments and Fig. 16A shows a leaf segment with its complete width intact. However, no conclusive evidence from a petiole or branching or leaf apices of segments, which would establish a gross morphology for the leaf of this species, has yet been recognised. The cuticle of the upper epidermis (Figs 16C-G; 17B; 18A-C) is covered by numerous, prominent papillae and trichomes on its outer surface (Figs 16B, C) and is
