Reconstruction of Lepidodendron by Dutch scientist Eli Heimans (1911)

Lepidodendron is an extinct genus of primitive (tree-like) plant. They were the first large land plants, and a major part of the coal forest tropical flora.

They were huge, over 30 metres (100 feet), and the trunks were often over 1 m (3.3 ft) in diameter.

Sometimes called 'giant club mosses', they are actually closer to the quillworts Isoetes than to clubmosses.
