Abstract

Lepidodendron ophiurus BRONGNIART (Flemingitaceae, Lepidodendrales) has been gradually eroded as a distinct species by the inclusion of other species in its synonymy and as such is of no value for stratigraphical or palaeoecolgical interpretations. The species is critically re-examined, reinterpreted and rediagnosed with the aid of new epidermal details. One set of specimens, excluded from the synonymy are described in detail for the first time and referred to a new species Lepidodendron wingfieldense
