The lignophyte clade includes the free-sporing progymnosperms (Devonian-Carboniferous) and the seed plants, or spermatophytes, that dominate most of present ecosystems. In the context of our studies on the evolution of the arborescent habit in the Palaeozoic, we focussed on the first lignophytes trees. The oldest arborescent lignophytes are the archaeopteridalean progymnosperms that evolved at the end of the Middle Devonian (385 Ma) and became extinct around the Devonian-Carboniferous boundary. Following their extinction, about twenty new taxa interpreted as arborescent members of the protopitylean progymnosperms and of the spermatophytes are recorded in Europe and North America during the Early Carboniferous (Mississippian). Due to incompl...
