Abstract
The problem of root wood is discussed. Based on several specimens of silici fied wood from the Dangu locality (Lower Eocene of the Paris Basin), the au thors have attempted to explain variations in the wood structure by the ori gin of the studied woods within the tree. A new species with two new forms is also established. ((C) Academie des sciences / Elsevier, Paris.).
