Quereuxia angulata ( NEWBERRY) KRYSHTOFOVICH
A distinctive floating aquatic plant known as Quereuxia angulata ( NEWBERRY) KRYSHTOFOVICH ranged from the upper Cretaceous through Paleocene of North America and Asia ( Stockey and Rothwell 1997; as Trapago angulata ). The plant was called Trapa angulata ( NEWBERRY) R. W. BROWN (1962) but represents an extinct genus. It was named Trapago by McIver and Basinger (1993) but this is a junior synonym of Quereuxia (see Hickey 2001 for nomenclatural review). The laterally compressed rhizome with attached leaves and roots illustrated as Trapa paulula ( BELL) R. W. BROWN (1962) also appears to represent this genus.
