Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| M. D. Brasier et al. 2012 | Frond unipolar, comprising two rows of irreg- ularly spaced primary branches, arranged alternately along a furled central axis, forming a linear suture. Inflation of first- and second-order branches is moderate to medial. First- and second-order branches are arranged in radiat- ing to subparallel series. All first- to third-order branches have furled margins, with rangeomorph elements that are rotated and undisplayed. A basal disc is rarely preserved. |
