Crenaticaulis

Crenaticaulis was an early genus of slender, dichotomously branching, leafless land plants, known from the Devonian period and first described in 1969. Gosslingiales and Crenaticaulis are zosterophylls.

See Gosslingiales and Crenaticaulis

Discalis

Discalis is a genus of extinct vascular plants of the Early Devonian (Pragian or Siegenian stage, around). The name is derived from the Greek δίσκος, referring to the disc-shaped sporangia (spore-forming organs). Gosslingiales and Discalis are zosterophylls.

See Gosslingiales and Discalis

Early Devonian

The Early Devonian is the first of three epochs comprising the Devonian period, corresponding to the Lower Devonian series.

See Gosslingiales and Early Devonian

Gosslingia

Gosslingia was a genus of Early Devonian land plant with branching axes. Gosslingiales and Gosslingia are zosterophylls.

See Gosslingiales and Gosslingia

Gosslingiaceae

Gosslingiaceae is a family of extinct zosterophylls. Gosslingiales and Gosslingiaceae are zosterophylls.

See Gosslingiales and Gosslingiaceae

Hsua

Hsua is a genus of extinct vascular plants, known from the Devonian.

See Gosslingiales and Hsua

Konioria

Konioria was a genus of early land plant with branching axes. Gosslingiales and Konioria are zosterophylls.

See Gosslingiales and Konioria

Lochkovian

The Lochkovian is one of three faunal stages in the Early Devonian Epoch.

See Gosslingiales and Lochkovian

Lycopodiopsida

Lycopodiopsida is a class of vascular plants also known as lycopods or lycophytes.

See Gosslingiales and Lycopodiopsida

Order (biology)

Order (ordo) is one of the eight major hierarchical taxonomic ranks in Linnaean taxonomy.

See Gosslingiales and Order (biology)

Oricilla

Oricilla was a genus of Early Devonian land plant with branching axes. Gosslingiales and Oricilla are zosterophylls.

See Gosslingiales and Oricilla

Paraphyly

Paraphyly is a taxonomic term describing a grouping that consists of the grouping's last common ancestor and some but not all of its descendant lineages.

See Gosslingiales and Paraphyly

Rhyniophyte

The rhyniophytes are a group of extinct early vascular plants that are considered to be similar to the genus Rhynia, found in the Early Devonian (around). Sources vary in the name and rank used for this group, some treating it as the class Rhyniopsida, others as the subdivision Rhyniophytina or the division Rhyniophyta.

See Gosslingiales and Rhyniophyte

Sawdonia

Sawdonia is an extinct genus of early vascular plants, known from the Upper Silurian to the Lower Carboniferous. Gosslingiales and Sawdonia are zosterophylls.

See Gosslingiales and Sawdonia

Sawdoniaceae

Sawdoniaceae is a family of extinct zosterophylls. Gosslingiales and Sawdoniaceae are zosterophylls.

See Gosslingiales and Sawdoniaceae

Sawdoniales

The Sawdoniales are an order or plesion of extinct zosterophylls. Gosslingiales and Sawdoniales are Prehistoric plant orders and zosterophylls.

Sporangium

A sporangium (from Late Latin);: sporangia) is an enclosure in which spores are formed. It can be composed of a single cell or can be multicellular. Virtually all plants, fungi, and many other groups form sporangia at some point in their life cycle. Sporangia can produce spores by mitosis, but in land plants and many fungi, sporangia produce genetically distinct haploid spores by meiosis.

See Gosslingiales and Sporangium

Vascular plant

Vascular plants, also called tracheophytes or collectively tracheophyta, form a large group of land plants (accepted known species) that have lignified tissues (the xylem) for conducting water and minerals throughout the plant.

See Gosslingiales and Vascular plant

Vernation

Vernation or leafing is the formation of new leaves or fronds.

See Gosslingiales and Vernation

Zosterophyll

The zosterophylls are a group of extinct land plants that first appeared in the Silurian period. Gosslingiales and zosterophyll are zosterophylls.

See Gosslingiales and Zosterophyll

Zosterophyllum

Zosterophyllum was a genus of Silurian-Devonian vascular land plants with naked branching axes on which usually kidney-shaped sporangia were arranged in lateral positions. Gosslingiales and Zosterophyllum are zosterophylls.
