Resumen:
Phyllocladopitys petriellae Brea and Ctsari, sp. nov. occurs in the early Late Carboniferous Jejenes Formation, Argentina. The description of the taxon is based on one anatomically preserved stem, a few centimeters in diameter. The primary xylem is mesarch. The secondary xylem shows only inconspicuous growth rings. Pitting on the walls of the tracheids is bordered. Rays are low, uni- or biseriate. Two to four simple pits are present in the cross fields. Comparisons are made with early gymnosperms and Cordaitales and paleoclimatic evidence is analyzed.
