Dictyopteridium sporiferum Feistmantel is a stalked, linear lanceolate cone, studded with small oval seeds. The seeds are attached all-round the cone axis on cushions. The seeds fell off leaving the marks of cushions on the cone and most of the fossil specimens are found in this condition. This cone was perhaps borne by one of the Glossopteridean plant.
