摘要
The only known fossil of Cystodium (Cystodiaceae) is C. sorbifolioides from mid-Cretaceous Myanmar amber. Here we describe a new fossil species of Cystodium , C. parasorbifolium, also from amber collected in Myanmar. This new species belongs to Cystodium based on pinnate fertile lamina segments, terminal sori protected by a reflexed lobe of the lamina (outer or false indusium), free veins, vertical annuli interrupted at the stalk, trilete spores, and striate perines. It differs from C. sorbifolioides by reflexed ovate-conical indusia and spores with clear striate perines. This new fossil species suggests that Cystodium was more diverse in the forests of Myanmar during the Cretaceous. (c) 2024 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
