| Abstract: | A fructification with unusual branching arrangement, Perezlaria oaxacensis gen. et sp. nov., is described from the Middle Jurassic Zorrillo Formation of Oaxaca, Mexico. The sporangial heads are similar to the pollen-bearing organs of several Mesozoic pteridosperms. The association of P. oaxacensis, as well as some isolated organs resembling the synangia of Caytonanthus, with glossopteroid foliage is noted. |
