TY - JOUR A1 - Thévenard, Frédéric A1 - Deschamps, Sylvie A1 - Guignard, Gaëtan A1 - Gomez, Bernard T1 - Les plantes fossiles du gisement hettangien de Talmont-Saint-Hilaire (Vendée, France) : intérêts systématique et paléoécologique T2 - Le Naturaliste Vendéen N2 - The Liassic Talmont-Saint-Hilaire (Vendée, France) outcrop has been studied here according to the abundance of fossil plants of the Cheirolepidiaceous family (Gymnosperms, Coniferales). A new species of Brachyphyllum has been studied in light microscopy, even in scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. It is, at that time, one of the most complete study realized on a fossil taxon. Epidermal cells, subsidiary cells and guard cells have been described on both adaxial and abaxial surfaces, in transversal and longitudinal sections. Cuticle ultrastructural variations have been observed between epidermal and stomatal cells. To conclude, we propose a discussion about the cuticle structure variations related to environmental conditions and the functional morphology of the different cells.
