Fossil-genus Lepidodendron STERNB., 1820
Remarks. Crookall (1964) suggested that Lepidodendron volkmannianum STERNB. from the Lower Limestone Formation occurs in the Kidston Collection, but this could not be verified, and there are no records listed in the relevant Fossilium Catalogus ( Jongmans 1929). What appears to be the axis of a lycopsid cone from Swinless Glen was misattributed to Cyclostigma ? hercynium C.E. WEISS by Crookall (1964: pl. 79, fig. 4). Another lycopsid stem fragment was made the type of Cyclostigma majus CROOKALL ( Crookall 1955: pl. 79, fig. 2) but this specimen is indeterminate.
