Abstract

Shoots ascribed to Voltziopsis africana Seward
are described, with cuticular detail. These compare
very closely with the shoot system, with an attached
seed cone, caned V. wolganensis sp. nov., which is
associated with pollen of the Strotersporites Wilson
sort. The shoot called, Brachyphyllum angustum
Walkom is redescribed though Walkom's specimens
cannot be found, and proves to be so close
to the species referred to Voltziopsis that it is
reclassified V. angusta (Walkom) comb. nov. The
material considered comes from the Lower Triassic
of New South Wales, and reasons are given for considering
all Voltziopsis specimens Lower Triassic
also. The classification of Voltziopsis in the Coniferales
is discussed.
