TitlePaper, 'The root of Lyginodendron Oldhamium, Will' by William Crawford Williamson and Dukinfield Henry Scott
Date1894
DescriptionThe authors write: 'During a re-investigation of the structure of Lyginodendron,* the results of which we hope to lay before the Royal Society on a future occasion, an important fact has come to light, which we desire to place on record without delay. A carboniferous fossil, with the structure perfectly preserved, has been described in previous memoirs, under the name of Kaloxylon Hookeri, Will. We have now established the fact that Kaloxylon was not an independent plant, but was the root of Lyginodendron Oldhamium.'
