These Carboniferous forest swamps were made up of plants which included tree-ferns such as Psaronius, which grew to a height of 15 metres (50 feet), and "scale-trees" such as Lepidodendron, which attained a height of about 30 metres (100 feet).

Land plants evolved rapidly into the vacant niches afforded them on land. By the end of the Devonian, forests of progymnosperms, such as Archaeopteris dominated the landscape. By the end of the Paleozoic, cycads, glossopterids, primitive conifers, and ferns were spreading across the landscape.
