The fructification of the noeggerathialean foliage Plagiozamites is very likely a cylindric strobilus based on close associations from the Early Permian Lower Shihhotse Formation of Weibei Coalfield in Shaanxi and Dengfeng Coalfield in Henan. The strobilus is articulated. Sporophylls arise from the node, with the proximal parts slightly united and with a tight angle to the axis; distal parts upturned pointing upwards and nearly parallel to the axis, coveting the neighboring sporophylls of the next node. A sessile sporangium is situated at the adaxial side of each sporophyll. There are 12-16 sporangia and sporophylls in each node. This type of strobilus may have been identified as some sphenophyllalean/equisetalean cones in previous study.
