The floristics of a recently discovered plant compression assemblage from the Lower Carboniferous Russchiefer of Saalfeld in Thuringia, Germany, is documented and compared with existing compression floras of Tournaisian age. Plant elements include: Sphenophyllum sp., a putative aneurophyte axis (cf. Stauroxylon), seven types of pinnate foliage and four types of reproductive organ. Both cupulate and synangiate organs are identified as well as a putative rhacopterid fertile branch. The enigmatic cone-like structure Eocanthocarpus is also identified from this assemblage. Both the ranges of foliage types and reproductive organs exceed the variability observed from the original assemblage collected by Richter and described by Unger from the historic locality at Mt. Pfaffenberg. Certain elements, notably Cyclopteris-type foliage and Telangiopsis synangia are relatively common in other Tournaisian localities. The branched aneurophytalean axis and a cupulate branched system producing ovule-like structures of unusual shape/orientation are currently unknown elsewhere.
