Genus ALAPAJA Dorofeev, 1979

Type species. Alapaja uralensis ( Dorofeev, 1979) , p. 314, figs 1, 5-10, fig. 7, 1-10

Remarks. Based on the presence of a structure very probably representing a curved embryo, asymmetric wings, pronounced funiculus and due to the overall shape of the seed, we assign the seed to the genus Alapaja . Alapaja differs from Seletya Dorofeev and Kozykorpeshia Dorofeev in having a marginal crest, being less curved, and lacking a basiventral micropyle ( Dorofeev, 1979; Kunzmann and Friis, 1999).
