SynopsisThe Lower Carboniferous fossil Calymmatotheca kidstoni Calder is shown to be a simple seed and is redescribed under the new name Genomosperma kidstoni. A second species G. latens is also described. Genomosperma gen. nov. is of interest in possessing a free nucellus with a lagenostome and short salpinx. The nucellus is surrounded by an integument of about eight lobes which are free from one another and from the nucellus from near the base of the seed. The vascular details of t h e seeds have been studied and in each species pollen has been observed in the pollen chamber.Genomosperma is compared with various Pteridosperm seeds.
