Gondomaria grandeuryi (Zeiller) Wagner & Castro, 1998, in the context of an upper Stephanian flora from Surroca (prov. Girona, Catalonia, Spain)

Abstract

A brief discussion on the general composition of the Stephanian C flora of Surroca is followed by a description of Gondomaria grandeuryi (Zeiller), a rare form of fernlike foliage of uncertain affinity. The genus Gondomaria Teixeira 1964 is discussed and comparison is made with Rhachiphyllum Kerp 1986, a “callipterid” formgenus of Stephanian C (early Autunian) to later Autunian ages.
