Abstract
The Carboniferous fossil stem genus Ulodendron has been known since 1831 when it was first described by Lindley and Hutton. Since that time ideas about its generic value and what should be included in it have varied considerably. Specimens referable to U. majus L. & H. have been examined and cuticle pre-parations made from them. Ulodendron is shown to have persistent leaves attached to leaf cushions. Stomata are present on both leaves and leaf cushions. The presence of ligule pits is also demonstrated proving the genus to be ligulate.
