Abstract
Revising the work of any scientific pioneers is an unenviable task but one
which becomes a necessity when erroneous identifications outweigh the constructive
value of the older work, often leading inevitably to wrong conclusions
about age and relationships. The necessity for a complete revision of the fossil plants occurring in the predominantly Devonian formation known as the Cape System has long been apparent. The more important reasons for undertaking this task at this time
are summarised below.
