Zygopteridales

The Zygopteridales is an extinct order of ferns or fern-like plants which grew primarily during the Carboniferous.[1] It comprises two families : Zygopteridaceae, which contains at least a dozen named genera[2], and Teledeaceae, which comprises two generas (Teledea & Senftenbergia). A few other generas are of uncertain placement and are not assigned to any family yet
