There were but few trees. Herbaceous plants alone existed. There were tall grasses, ferns, lycopods, besides sigillaria, asterophyllites, now scarce plants, but then the species might be counted by thousands.
Er waren weinig boomen, alleen kruidachtige planten, verbazende grasgewassen, varens, wolfsklauwen, zegel- en sterrenplanten, zonderlinge familien, wier soorten toen bij duizenden geteld werden.
