Solaranthus is an extinct genus of plants with contentious affinities which has been found fossilized in the Jiulongshan Formation of China. It dates to the middle Jurassic period. [1] It was first named by Shaolin Zheng and Xin Wang in 2010 and the type species is Solaranthus daohugouensis. [1]
Some authors interpret Solaranthus as an unusual angiosperm, while others consider it a cycadalean [2] or peltaspermalean pollen organ. [3]
