Restrepophyllum is a genus of fossil foliage attributable to the Zamiaceae. This genus is found in Early Cretaceous rocks from Argentina.
Taxonomy
[edit]The genus was erected based on material from the Anfiteratro de Ticó Formation in Argentina based on a single specimen preserved with cuticle.[1]/ The name of the genus was chosen to highlight the similarity with Zamia restrepoi (D.W.Stev.) A.Lindstr., a species of Zamia previously segregated in the genus Chigua.
