Genus Arberophyllum Doweld, 2000 View in CoL
Type species: Arberophyllum florinii ( Kräusel, 1943) Doweld, 2000 ; from the Carnian of Lunz, Lower Austria, Austria.
Remarks.— Arberophyllum forms an isolated taxon that differs in various morphological traits from other members of the Mesozoic ginkgophytes ( Tralau 1968; Dobruskina 1998; Pott et al. 2007d). The most characteristic features of Arberophyllum are the strap-shaped leaf and absence of a petiole. The generic name is a substitute for Glossophyllum Kräusel, 1943 , which is preoccupied by a genus of extant mosses (for details, see Farr and Zijlstra 1996; Doweld 2000).
