Abstract

From the Pekin Formation (Upper Triassic) of the Deep River basin in central North Carolina, U.S.A., originate remains of a slender cycadeoidalean (bennettitalean) stem with leaves of a type combining features of the form genera Otozamites and Zamites. The plant, placed in the new genus and species Ischnophyton iconicum, is additional evidence that the common growth habit of Triassic and Jurassic cycadophytes was one involving a slender stem, without closely spaced, persistent leaf bases.
