Abstract

Plant remains from the Byers Peninsula, South Shetlands Islands, are described. These are leaves referred toTaeniopterissp. and female fructifications referred toCarnoconites llambiasiiCésari sp. nov. They are considered to belong to the Pentoxylales, originally described from India, Australia and New Zealand. This is the first record of this group of gymnosperms from Antarctica. The occurrence contributes to further differentiation between floras of this part of Gondwana and Laurasia.
