Coniferae are not ony allied to Cupuliferae and Betulinae, with which we find them associated in lignite formations, but also with Lycopodiaceae.

Lycopodiaceae which were probably arborescent, Equisetaceae, and tropical ferns; they present, however, a singular association of animal forms, consisting of Crustacea (trilobites with reticulated eyes, and Calymene),

Thus, for example, to mention only two instances, we would notice the Lepidodendra, which, according to Lindley, occupy a place between the Coniferae and the Lycopodiaceae*, and the Araucariae and pines, which exhibit some peculiarities in the union of their vascular bundles.

Where many beds of coal are superposed over one another, the families and species are not always blended, being most frequently grouped together in separate genera; Lycopodiaceae and certain ferns being alone found in one bed, and Stigmariae and Sigillariae in another.

Of these we will only enumerate arborescent Calamites and Lycopodiaceae, scaly

All seven of the ancient fern families from the world’s existing flora of about 36 families occur in the region (Lycopodiaceae, Selaginellaceae, Ophioglossaceae, Marattiaceae, Osmundaceae, Schizaeaceae, and Gleicheniaceae).
