Credneria
Extinct genus of flowering plants / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Credneria is an extinct genus in the family or Platanaceae[1][2][3] of broad-leaf trees similar to extinct Platanus species that appeared during the Cretaceous. The genus was first described by Zenker (1833) and has formerly been placed in the family Salicaceae[4] rather than Platanaceae on occasion. Credneria leaves are preserved in sandstone and less often in siltstone. The leaves are typically obovate with a pinnate-actinodromous venation and distinct suprabasal veins.[5]
