Abstract
The gnetalean affinity of the samaras described by Heer (1876) as Ephedrites antiquus is supported and a new generic name Heerala is proposed for them. They are conceived as borne axillary to the bracts of a new bract genus Angarolepis. The Ephedra-like leaves from the same locality, assigned to a new leaf genus Cadmisega, might belong to the same plant. Its supposed pollen organs have previously been described as Kaidacarpum, a monocot fruit, and Equisetostachys, a spore cone.
