The
stems and trunks of many seed ferns consisted of separate
vascular segments in the form of wedges, which formed a single
stele with a polyvascular arrangement. Glossopteris is
a seed fern with a eustele vascular bundle (concentric vascular
bundles with enclosed pith), which is characteristic of conifers
and angiosperms. The
wood of seed fern stems was composed of
conifer-like wood.
