This study focuses on a fossil plant from the upper Silurian of the Prague Basin, the Czech Republic, which is characterized by leafless dichotomously branched axes with distinct terminal „trefoil-like“ formations. The research is concerned with the examination of these formations and suggest probable interpretations, such as circinate vernation. The study also discusses taxonomic aspects to determine affinities of the specimen. For this study, the plant is left undetermined.
