T y p e: Cunninghamites oxycedrus C. PRESL in STERN-

BERG 1838, p. 203, pl. 49, fig. 1a–b.

D i s c u s s i o n. The genus Cunninghamites was emended by Bosma et al. (2012). It is similar to Elatocladus HALLE in length and shape of needles, but differs in having leaf cushions bearing needle-like leaves with constricted bases. It also differs in number of ribs. Cunnighamites has 3 to 5 ribs (resin canals) compared to the genus Elatocladus , which has only one rib (J. Kvaček 1999).
