摘　　要：文中对云南曲靖下泥盆统徐家冲组Zosterophyllum longhuashanense Li and Cai模式标本进行了重新观察。该模式标本仅保存一段孢子囊穗,由中央穗轴和疏松螺旋排列的孢子囊构成。穗轴中部可见一条宽约0.3mm纵向延伸的维管束痕迹,且较细的条带从中央维管束处分出,延伸向孢子囊。孢子囊侧面观呈三角形或椭圆形,高2.2—3.1mm,侧面宽1.3—2.8mm。孢子囊沿近轴侧开裂为相等的两瓣。该化石植物的形态学特征以及度量数据均与工蕨属的模式种Zosterophyllum myretonianum极相似,据此,将Zosterophyllum longhuashanense修订为Zosterophyllum cf.myretonianum。Zosterophyllum longhuashanense was established from the Lower Devonian of Qujing,Yunnan Province（Li and Cai, 1977）. Its establishment was based on only one specimen that was not well illustrated. Some authors（Gerrienne,1988;Hao et al.,2007;Edwards et al.,2015）thought that the sporangia of Z.longhuashanense were two-rowed arranged,rather than being spirally arranged as originally described by Li and Cai（1977）.The present study reobserves the type specimen of Z.longhuashanense and indicates a zosterophyll spike with spirally arranged sporangia. According to the morphological features,the specimen previously attributed to Z.longhuashanense is transferred to Zosterophyllumcf.myretonianum.Class Zosterophyllopsida Banks,1975 Order Zosterophyllales Banks,1968 Family Zosterophyllaceae Banks,1968 Genus Zosterophyllum Penhallow,1892 Type species Zosterophyllum myretonianum Penhallow,1892Zosterophyllumcf.myretonianumPenhallow,1892（Text-figs.1-A—F,2）1977 Zosterophyllum longhuashanense,Li and Cai,pp 17,pl.Ⅱ,fig.21,21 a;Text-fig.1.Specimen PB6463（original Type specimen）,deposited at the Nanjing Institute of Geology and Palaeontology,Chinese Academy of Sciences.Description A part of zosterophyll spike,without apical or basal part,is preserved up to 35 mm long and 7 mm in maximum width.The spike consists of an axis with sporangia loosely and spirally arranged.The spike axis is about 1.8 mm wide.A vertical ribbon-like band is seen on the surface of the axis,which might represent the vascular strand inside the axis.More slender bands are seen to depart from the central one,extending to individual sporangia（Text-figs.1-F,2）.At least twelve sporangia are recognized from the spike.Sporangia are arranged in lateral or sub-lateral positions relative to the central axis,none is seen in face view（Text-figs.1-A,2）.In the description of the sporangium,the up or down refers to their positions shown in the text-figure.The high or low refers to the sporangial positions relative to the observer.
