Dictyophyllum is an extinct genus of fern from the Triassic and Jurassic periods, known only from fossils, so it cannot be grown. It belongs to the Dipteridaceae family and is not a living houseplant or garden plant.
Dictyophyllum is an extinct genus of ferns belonging to the family Dipteridaceae. It is known from the Triassic and Jurassic periods. Like most other members of the family, it consists of multiple segments of pinnate leaflets connected to an arm, of which there were two per plant. The monophyly of the genus has been questioned, with a 2018 study suggested that the genus was polyphyletic as currently used.
