Brachyphyllum (meaning "short leaf") is a form genus of fossil coniferous plant foliage. Plants of the genus have been variously assigned to several different conifer groups including Araucariaceae and Cheirolepidiaceae.^[4] They are known from around the globe from the Late Carboniferous to the Late Cretaceous periods.^[1] B. sattlerae was named after the fictional palaebotanist Ellie Sattler from the Jurassic Park franchise.^[2]

Correspondence with other plant elements

Amongst Cheirolepidiaceae, Brachyphyllum is known to be associated with the conifer cones Pararaucaria^[8] and Kachaikestrobus.^[9] Whilst amongst the Araucariaceae, it has been associated with the pollen cone Rabagostrobus.^[10]
