Sidhiphyllites: A new Ginkgophytic leaf genus from the Triassic of Nidpur, India

Abstract

Ginkgophytic leaves with carbonified crust, collected from Nidpur, have been designated as Sidhiphyllites flabellatus gen. et sp. nov. Though the cuticle lacks the constant cuticular characters of a ginkgoalean leaf, morphographically the leaves confirm the genus Ginkgoites Seward.
