Abstract

The monocotyledon macrofossil Desmiophyllum sp. α Seward & Conway is recognised as being close in its cuticular features and stomatal sculpturing to several New Zealand and Mascarene species of Cordyline. However, because the fossil cannot be placed unequivocally in Cordyline it is assigned to a new form genus Paracordyline as P. kerguelensis with affinities to the extant aborescent woody monocot Cordyline (Lomandraceae).
