Overview

Excerpt from A New Araucarian Genus From the Triassic Another feature of interest connected with the genus described in the present article, is that it adds one more bond to the evidence connecting the Abietineae and Araucarineae. As a result of recent investigations on the woods of the American Lower Cretaceous, we know that the ligneous structure of some of the older Araucarian Conifers more nearly approached the Abietineae than is the case with any of those now living. The proof afforded by the genus Wood worthia of the presence of short-shoots in the Araucarian line at so remote a period as the Trias, supplies an additional and very weighty piece of evidence as to the Abietineous origin Of the Araucarian Coni fers. As far back as the Triassic we find the tendency of the Araucarineae to become more and more like the Abietineae, clearly indicated. Whether this evidence is confirmed by the consideration of the general wood structure of the more ancient Araucarian Conifers, will be discussed in an extensive memoir, now in preparation.
