Leiotriletes adriennis (POTONIÉ et GELLETICH 1933) KRUTZSCH 1959

Pl.2, figs 10-15

R e l a t i o n s h i p s: Most probably Lygodium - types ( Schizaeaceae ). Some authors assigned the types figured in Pl. 2, figs 12,15 to Dictyophyllidites harrisii , but others to Deltoidospora . After comparison with Lygodium spores in situ, we assigned this type to the genus Leiotriletes . (Nevertheless, this assessement may be ambiguous, especially due to relative thinness of spore exines.)

R e m a r k s: Discussion of the above mentioned morphological genera Dictyophyllidites , Cyathidites , and Leiotriletes and their relationships to recent families and macrofossil fern taxa, based on in situ spores and fern morphology, is given in van Konijnenburg-van Cittert (1989) and also reviewed in Traverse (2008).
