N o t e. The material described here is preliminarily assigned to the genus Pagiophyllum . It shows that genus’s principal diagnostic characters: helically arranged leaves in which length exceeds their width ( Harris 1969). It differs from Geinitzia ENDL. and Elatides HALLE in lacking any reproductive structure. From Cunninghamites C.PRESL it differs in having leaves triangular in cross-section, usually falcate and lacking the conspicuous leaf base cushion and corresponding scar ( Kvaček 1999, Bosma et al. 2012).
