Abstract
A large specimen of Macroneuropteris macrophylla clearly shows the ove rtopped branching of the primary rachis branches in the upper part of the frond. This is the first unequivocal evidence of the distal archit ecture of this species to be published and confirms the reconstruction proposed by us in an earlier paper.
