Yabeiella, Stangeria, Jabalpur Formation (India)Abstract
Leaf fragments described earlier by Bose and Sukh-Dev (1960) as Nipaniophyllum hirsutum (Pentoxyleae) from Bansa (Lower Cretaceous) are now identified as leaves of the genus Yabeiella Oishi on finding a better specimen with venation and cuticle. Thus, as had been reported. the Pentoxyleae is not yet found in the Jabalpur Formation.
The diagnosis of the genus Yabeiella is also emended here. The genus resembles most with the leaflets of Stangeria paradoxa (a living Cycad) in venation and some other characters. However, its systematic position is still open.
