A silicified dicotyledon rhizome is described from the Eocene Allenby Formation of the Princeton Coal Basin, British Columbia. The primary and secondary vascular tissues of the rhizome form a narrow cylinder around a broad, parenchymatous pith. The rhizome's salient feature is a wide cortex in which there are numerous air cavities. In most specimens the cortex is surrounded by a single layer of epidermal cells but in some there is evidence of periderm initiation. Small lateral branches are borne on the main axis, and both the main and lateral axes bear broad, clasping leaf bases and adventitious roots. The affinities of this rhizome are presently unknown, but its anatomical structure is indicative of a semiaquatic plant.
