Vestiges Of The Natural History Of Creation

Más información sobre el libro

The book explores the flora of the Carboniferous era, emphasizing the dominance of cellular or cryptogamic plants, which make up two-thirds of the era's vegetation. It suggests that the actual diversity may be even greater if more of the flora were known. While the identified dicotyledons, or higher-class plants, are relatively few, their presence and variety are shown to have increased over time as the planet evolved.
