About This Book

This volume provides systematic descriptions, anatomical analyses, and extensive illustrations of fossil gymnosperms from the Paleozoic record. It examines seed-ferns and medullosan stems, various cycad-like trunks and fronds, cordaitean wood and foliage, and a wide range of fossil gymnosperm seeds. Each section combines morphological description, tissue and vascular anatomy, and taxonomic commentary to aid identification and comparison. Emphasis is placed on structural characters used in classification and on the morphological diversity preserved across different fossil genera and organs.

A. C. Seward

A. C. Seward was a prominent botanist and paleobotanist known for his significant contributions to the understanding of fossil plants and their evolution. His notable works include "Darwin and Modern Science," which explores the implications of Darwinian theory in the context of botanical science. Seward's multi-volume series "Fossil Plants" provides an in-depth examination of plant fossils, highlighting their importance in understanding the history of life on Earth. His research has played a crucial role in bridging the gap between paleontology and modern botany, making him a key figure in the study of plant evolution.
