An unknown vascularized axis from a Middle-Pennsylvanian coal ball collected in southeast Kansas is described and illustrated. It consists of a single specimen 4 mm in diameter and 3 cm long with an exarch polyarch actinostele of 16 protoxylem points lacking pith and secondary growth. The outer cortex shows an estimated 16 alternating ridges and furrows. While the stele is superficially similar to a Psaronius root and ie lycopod stem, Pagrodendron, it is excluded from boi by its multiseriate bordered pitting. Its closest affinities seem to be with the Calamitales or Sphellophyllales although it can not be assigned to any known genus. In view of the paucity of the material and lack of evidence as to its stem vs root identity it is described without formal taxonomic assignment.
