Figure 7 in Taungurungia gen. nov., from the Lower Devonian of Yea, central Victoria, Australia

Figure 7. Taungurungia garrattii gen. et sp. nov. holotype, fusiform bodies (buds/sterile sporangia). Some of these are highlighted with enlarged dotted outlines near them: a, anisotomous branching with terminal partial fusiform body (upper arrow). Emergence or branching (lower arrow); b, post-dégagement, several fusiform bodies with short subtending axes are visible along the edge of the axis. Distally the axis narrows and terminates in an elongate rounded body (Arrow on right); c, curved axis displaying negative geotropism. Close-up (rectangular region) is in (d); d, distal part of curved axis possesses minute fusiform bodies (at arrows). An insert highlights the morphology. Evidence of determinate growth can be seen as the axis is terminated by one of these fusiform bodies; e, fine axis emanating about 4 mm on the same axis subtending the large central terminal sporangium, with arrow at small terminal body. All images are from the counterpart (NMV P257028.2). Image a was taken by Rodney Start © Museums Victoria. Images b–e were taken with a unidirectional light source.
