Leaf cuticular analysis of the Upper Pennsylvanian and lower Cisuralian (Carboniferous - Permian) species of Cordaites UNGER from the Bohemian Massif, Czech Republic

Original language description

Until now, poorly known cordaitalean leaves from the Stephanian and Permian of the Bohemian Massif have been studied through cuticular analysis that helped classify the known species and establish new species. Stomata arrangement patterns have enabled the cuticles to be classified into three principal groups: 1) Stomata dispersed more or less regularly over the cuticle [Cordaites rudnicensis, C. sudeticus and C. sudeticus (Kru &amp; scaron;ovice loc.)]; 2) Stomata arranged in simple or double stomatal rows (Cordaites malesicensis, C. radvanicensis, C. risutensis, C. roprachticensis sp. nov., C. setlikii, sp. nov. and C. pastuchovicensis sp. nov.); 3) Stomata arranged in stomatiferous bands consisting of several stomatal rows (Cordaites barthelii, C. melnicensis and C. cf. melnicensis). This new study brings new information on the spatial distribution of Cordaites species. The material studied came from coal mines, outcrops, and boreholes. The Cordaites leaves from boreholes are fragmentary, and cuticles help with their determination. The Cordaites came from different habitats: peat-forming swamps (samples from coal mines and some boreholes) and deltaic and lake deposits (mainly from outcrops). Cordaitaleans growing in peat-forming swamps indeed represent hygrophilous plants; the fragments found in the deltaic environment can be characterised as remains of mesophilous plants with less demand for water. The plants found in lake deposits could be either hygrophilous (nearly autochthonous that grew in coastal vegetation) or mesophilous (allochthonous, originally growing upstream, more or less far from the river that transported material to the lake). Cuticles of xerophilous cordaitaleans cannot be studied because their leaves have been found only as imprints in red deposits, and delicate cuticular structures are not preserved.
