Australia
Australia, officially the Commonwealth of Australia, is a country comprising the mainland of the Australian continent, the island of Tasmania, and numerous smaller islands.
Brazil
Brazil, officially the Federative Republic of Brazil, is the largest and easternmost country in South America and Latin America.
Cooksonia
Cooksonia is an extinct group of primitive land plants, treated as a genus, although probably not monophyletic. Salopella and Cooksonia are early Devonian genus extinctions, early Devonian plants, Prehistoric plant genera and Silurian plants.
Devonian
The Devonian is a geologic period and system of the Paleozoic era during the Phanerozoic eon, spanning 60.3 million years from the end of the preceding Silurian period at million years ago (Ma), to the beginning of the succeeding Carboniferous period at Ma.
Dianne Edwards
Professor Dianne Edwards CBE, FRS, FRSE, FLS, FLSW (born 1942) is a palaeobotanist, who studies the colonisation of land by plants, and early land plant interactions.

Form classification
Form classification is the classification of organisms based on their morphology, which does not necessarily reflect their biological relationships.
See Salopella and Form classification
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. Salopella and rhyniophyte are early Devonian plants.
Silurian
The Silurian is a geologic period and system spanning 24.6 million years from the end of the Ordovician Period, at million years ago (Mya), to the beginning of the Devonian Period, Mya.
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.
Tarrantia
Tarrantia is a form genus of small fossil plants of Early Devonian age. Salopella and Tarrantia are Devonian plant stubs, early Devonian genus extinctions, early Devonian plants and Prehistoric plant genera.
Tortilicaulis
Tortilicaulis is a moss-like plant known from fossils recovered from southern Britain, spanning the Silurian-Devonian boundary (around). Originally recovered from the Downtonian of the Welsh borderlands, Tortilicaulis has since been recovered in the famous Ludlow Lane locality. Salopella and Tortilicaulis are early Devonian genus extinctions, early Devonian plants, Prehistoric plant genera and Silurian plants.
See Salopella and Tortilicaulis
Uskiella
Uskiella is a genus of small fossil plants of Early Devonian age (around). The diagnostic characters are naked axes branching isotomously, terminating in ellipsoidal, vertically elongate flat sporangia which split longitudinally into two valves. Salopella and Uskiella are Devonian plant stubs, early Devonian plants and Prehistoric plant genera.
Wales
Wales (Cymru) is a country that is part of the United Kingdom.
Xinjiang
Xinjiang, officially the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, is an autonomous region of the People's Republic of China (PRC), located in the northwest of the country at the crossroads of Central Asia and East Asia.
