本文总结了采自美国西南部上三叠统钦勒组的三种裸子植物化石。本文收录的是一例圆叶黄杨的修正诊断。Nov.，描述了一种新种Elatocladus puercoensis sp.11月，并根据新材料对有争议的植物化石Dechellyia Gormanii Ash.进行了重新描述。此外，还描述了在一些新标本的叶片上发现的昆虫捕食的证据(切除和虫胆)，并与早先报道的钦勒组其他化石叶片上的证据进行了比较。
This article summarises an investigation of three selected species of fossil gymnosperms collected from the Upper Triassic Chinle Formation of the American southwest. Included here is an emended diagnosis of Lindleycladus arizonicus (Daugherty) comb. nov., a description of Elatocladus puercoensis sp. nov., and a redescription, based on new material, of the contentious plant fossil Dechellyia gormanii Ash. Also, the evidence (excisions and galls) of insect predation found on some of the leaves of the new specimens of D. gormanii is described and compared with that reported earlier on other fossil leaves in the Chinle Formation.
