Abstract
A monocotyledonous leaf macrofossil taxon from Golden Grove in Adelaide, South Australia is recognised as being close to several extant Australasian species of Cordyline, especially those in the C. stricta (Sims) Endl. / C. fruticosa (L.) A. Chev. complex. The fossil is assigned to the form genus Paracordyline, known previously from the Oligocene Kerguelen Islands. However, as the Golden Grove taxon differs markedly from the Kerguelen species, it is considered to be a new species, P. aureonemoralis Conran & Christophel.
期刊介绍:
Alcheringa : An Australasian Journal of Palaeontology is the official journal of the Australasian Palaeontologists.
Alcheringa covers all aspects of palaeontology and its ramifications into the earth and biological sciences, including:
Taxonomy-
Biostratigraphy-
Micropalaeontology-
Vertebrate palaeontology-
Palaeobotany-
Palynology-
Palaeobiology-
Palaeoanatomy-
Palaeoecology-
Biostratinomy-
Biogeography-
Chronobiology-
Biogeochemistry-
Palichnology.
Review articles are welcome, and may be solicited from time to time. Thematic issues are also possible. Emphasis is placed on high quality and informative illustration, in both line drawings and photographs. Papers of general significance may receive preference over those of more local interest.
