Araucaria longifolia (LESQUEREUX) R. W. BROWN

Brown’s determination of compressed cones and foliage as Araucaria longifolia (LESQUEREUX) R. W. BROWN has not been formally challenged. However, the identification to this family is in need of careful scrutiny, as it would be among the youngest records of this family for the Northern Hemisphere.

In the taxoidioid Cupressaceae , Metasequoia and Glyptostrobus are well represented based on foliage and cones. Glyptostrobus is represented by foliar branches with terminal cones, and by dispersed seeds.
