Silurian land plants from the Holy Cross Mts. are described for the first time. The fossil assemblage occurs in a near-shore, marine, terrigenous deposit of Ludlowian/Pridolian age. It contains Cooksonia sp., Cooksonia-related species, and some problematical forms. The flora, which needs further study, is of importance to our understanding of early vascular plants and Late Silurian palaeogeography.
