A first description is given of Westphalian D dispersed megaspores in Britain. Among the seventeen species recorded five are new: Setosisporitespilatus, Lagenicula verrurugosa, L. perverrucata, L.? verrucata, L. irregularis. The species are assigned to nine genera as defined by Potonie and Kremp (1954). The genus Zonale-sporites (Ibrahim) Potonie and Kremp is redefined to include Superbisporites, Rotatisporites, and Radiatisporites as defined by Potonie and Kremp (1954). A list of additional macro-plant species from the Coal Measures concerned is also given.
