Lepidodendron
Lepidodendron — known as scale trees — were a now extinct genus of primitive, vascular, arborescent plant related to the lycopsids. They were part of the coal forest flora. They sometimes reached heights of over 30 metres, and the trunks were often over 1 m in diameter, and thrived during the Carboniferous Period. Sometimes erroneously called "giant club mosses", they were actually more closely related to today's quillworts than to modern club mosses. The name Lepidodendron comes from the Greek lepido, scale, and dendron, tree.
Chambers 20th Century Dictionary
Lepidodendron
lep-i-do-den′dron, n. a common fossil plant of the Carboniferous strata, the stem covered with ovate leaf-scars arranged spirally. [Gr. lepis, -idos, a scale, dendron, a tree.]
