Lepidodendron — known as scale trees — is an extinct genus of primitive vascular arborescent (tree-like) plant related to the lycopsids (club mosses). They were part of the coal forest flora. They sometimes reached heights of over 30 metres (100 ft) and the trunks were often over 1 m (3.3 ft) in diameter and thrived during the Carboniferous Period (about 359.2 ± 2.5 Mya (million years ago) to about 299.0 ± 0.8 Mya).
