Sagenopteris is a genus of extinct seed ferns from the Triassic to late Early Cretaceous.[1][2]

Description

Sagenopteris has palmately arranged leaves with anastomosing venation.

Different organs attributed to the same original plant can be reconstructed from co-occurrence at the same locality and from similarities in the stomatal apparatus and other anatomical peculiarities of fossilized cuticles.
