The strobilus is articulated. Sporophylls arise from the node, with the proximal parts slightly united and with a tight angle to the axis; distal parts upturned pointing upwards and nearly parallel to the axis, coveting the neighboring sporophylls of the next node. A sessile sporangium is situated at the adaxial side of each sporophyll. There are 12-16 sporangia and sporophylls in each node. This type of strobilus may have been identified as some sphenophyllalean/equisetalean cones in previous study.展开更多
