Taungurungia gen. nov., from the Lower Devonian of Yea, central Victoria, Australia

This paper records a new genus Taungurungia, which is the first taxon with emergences to be described from Lower Devonian of Victoria. The fossil preserved primarily as compression and impression, lacks internal anatomy. extends our knowledge known variations within early land plants, most characteristics, such H- or K-branching, redolent affinities zosterophylls. However, having large ovate terminal sporangium, adds taxa that in some cases have been provisonally allied zosterophylls elongate sporangia; this further demonstrates need for reassessment Zosterophyllopsida.
