Brachyphyllum (meaning "short leaf") is a form genus of fossil coniferous plant foliage. Plants of the genus have been variously assigned to several different conifer groups including Araucariaceae and Cheirolepidiaceae.[4] They are known from around the globe from the Late Carboniferous to the Late Cretaceous periods.[1] B. sattlerae was named after the fictional palaebotanist Ellie Sattler from the Jurassic Park franchise.[2]

List of species

  • B. yorkense
  • B. castatum
  • B. castilhoi
  • B. punctatum
  • B. sattlerae[2]
  • B. japonicum[3]
  • B. dimorpha[5]

Correspondence with other plant elements

Amongst Cheirolepidiaceae, Brachyphyllum is known to be associated with the conifer cones Pararaucaria[8] and Kachaikestrobus.[9] Whilst amongst the Araucariaceae, it has been associated with the pollen cone Rabagostrobus.[10]
