Abstract

Described are seven species including four new to science:Matoniostipes mesozoica gen, et sp. nov.,Taxaceoxylon japonomesoziocum sp. nov.,Planoxylon tylosissimum sp. nov., andProtocedroxylon pseudo-araucarioides sp. nov. New to Japan inCupressinoxylon sachalinense which was formerly discovered in Saghalien. Anatomy of secondary wood and pith is elucidated inCycadeoidella japonica which has had little attention except for leaf base armors in the material from Hokkaido.Araucarioxylon hujinamiense is new to the locality.
