XLi] PHOBJsricopsis 73 



has figured an imperfect specimen from Upper Gondwana rocks 

 in India that may be correctly referred to this genus. Incomplete 

 leaves from the Rhaetic beds of Sweden described by Nathorst^ 

 as Phoenicopsis cf. speciosa Heer may be examples of the genus, 

 but the name Desmiophyllum would be more appropriate.
