Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| M. D. Brasier et al. 2012 | Frond unipolar, comprising two rows of primary branches arranged in irregularly spaced alternations along a furled central axis, forming a linear suture (Figs 5C–D and 8B). Inflation of first- and second-order branches is moderate to medial. Mature first- and second-order branches typi- cally have furled margins, with alignments that are arranged in radiating to subparallel series. Rangeomorph ele- ments of the first-order branches are usually undisplayed, whereas those of second-order branches are clearly dis- played. A basal disc and stem is sometimes preserved. |
