The frond is small and at least two times pinnate. The pinnule is sphenopteroid. The sori are borne on the abaxial surface of the pinnule, arranged in two rows parallel to the midvein, elliptic,and composed of 4-10 round sporangia. The indusium is absent. The annulus is transverse and complete, and consists of about 18 thickened cells. The features of the fertile parts, sori, sporangia and annulus and the absence of indusium indicate that the new species belongs to the Gleicheniaceae.展开更多

The material comprises fertile organs including sori, sporangia, spores and associated sterile leaf of the Sphenopteris type. The sori are circular and 0.6—0.8 mm in diameter, and each sorus consists of 4—6 oval sporangia without an indusium. A transverse annulus completely encircles the sporangium. Each sporangium produces probably 256 trilete spores resembling the dispersed genus Leiotriletes. Comparisons are made between O. kepingensis and other species of Oligocarpia in the soral organization and spores. It is reasonable to include Oligocarpia in Gleicheniaceae based on its similarities of fertile character to the extant gleicheniaceous members.展开更多
