These plants are best recognized by the large amount of spikes (enations) covering the plant. These are vascular plants that do not have vascular systems in their enations. The first species of this genus (Sawdonia Ornata) was described in 1859 by Sir J. William Dawson and, was originally attributed to the Psilophyton genus. He named this plant Psilophyton Princeps. In 1971 Francis Hueber proposed a new genus for this species due to its "Divergent technical characters from the generic description for Psilophyton."[1] The holotype used for description is Dawson Collection Number 48, pro parte, Museum Specimen Number 3243. (See Dawson 1871, Plate IX, fig 101.) Sir J. William Dawson Collection, Peter Redpath Museum, McGill University, Montreal, Qu6bec, Canada.[1] MorphologyThese plants are described by Hueber as having monopodially branched stems, that are unridged, spinous and circinately tipped. The sporangia are described as round in abaxial view, and oval in lateral view. These sporangia are formed laterally and singular on short stalks. The sporangium split along convex margins into equal valves in a trilete fashion. The spines are tapered and pointed lower on the plant but form loose spikes at end of the plant. The sporangium split along convex margins into equal valves in a trilete fashion.The xylem are just one solid strand. The epidermal cells have cuticular papillae. There are stomata located on the on stem but not on spine surfaces.[1] Sawdonia is defined by Francis Hueber in his 1971 paper as follows:
Taxonomy and classificationDivision Tracheophyta Subdivision Zosterophyllophytina Order Sawdoniales[2] Family Sawdoniaceae [2] Genus Sawdonia Species
RangeSawdonia had an extremely broad range, with many specimens found in Canada, England and Scotland. There have even been a species that has been found across China, that might fall under the Sawdonia genus.
