Abstract
A new generic name, Friisicarpus N. Maslova et Herman, is proposed to replace Platanocarpus Friis, Crane, et Pedersen, 1988. Pistillate capitate inflorescences of Friisicarpus nom. nov. are reported from the Cenomanian of western Siberia for the first time. They are found in association with leaves of the typical Platanus-morphotype. Earlier, remains belonging to this genus were found to be associated with pinnatifid leaves of cf. Sapindopsis variabilis Fontaine (Crane et al., 1993).
